Elk Brown stands warm and muted. For bags and belts it is the obvious tone. Each spool carries 500 m of sewing thread at weight 100, and the colour number reads 0196. On sturdy fabrics your stitch length may sit a little longer so the seam does not pucker.
Meant equally for clothing, bags and home textiles — this thread is tuned to the domestic machine rather than to a special case. Troja runs quietly through guides and needle eye. That spares your machine and keeps stitch formation even. Change your needle regularly; a blunt point drags at the thread and makes it break.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Elchbraun is suitable for
- clothing from wovens and knits
- buttonholes on a domestic machine
- children's clothes washed often
Sewing tips
- Stärke 100 passt zu Universalnadeln der Stärken 70 bis 90.
- Ober- und Unterfaden in derselben Farbe nehmen, sonst blitzt der Unterfaden an der Naht durch.
- Bei dehnbaren Stoffen einen elastischen Stich wählen — das Garn selbst dehnt sich nicht.
- Angebrochene Spulen stehend und dunkel lagern, dann bleibt die Farbe frisch.
- Farbnummer zum Projekt notieren; nach Augenmaß trifft man den Ton selten wieder.

Frequently asked questions
Which needle suits this thread?
A universal needle in a medium size matches weight 100. For jersey take a ballpoint needle, for denim a jeans needle — the thread stays the same in both cases.
Which thread belongs on the bobbin?
This same thread in this same colour. Different tones above and below show along the seam as soon as your fabric moves. Only embroidery follows another rule.
Can I sew jersey with it?
Yes, but with a stretch stitch. The thread itself does not stretch; the give has to come from the stitch, otherwise your seam bursts at the first firm pull.
What is the colour number for?
It is the identity of this colour. With it you reorder the same tone years later, while comparing by eye or on a screen almost always misses.
