Description
Grey is the quiet choice. Neither warm nor cold, neither light nor dark enough to draw attention. This spool carries 500 m of thread at weight 100 plus colour number 0326 — by eye alone you rarely hit the tone again. For your bobbin the best pick is this same thread in this same colour.
This thread does not fray and runs quietly through the guides. Exactly that keeps long seams uneventful. This thread is tear-resistant without being stiff. Exactly that mixture is what a seam needs if it should move with the fabric.
What Amann Troja Sewing Thread 500 m Grey is suitable for
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- buttonholes on a domestic machine
- hems on trousers and skirts
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
Does the seam take hot washing?
Yes. The thread is colourfast and copes with usual wash temperatures. What decides is your fabric: wash the piece as its material allows, not as the thread could.
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.
Which colour do I pick when I cannot match the fabric?
When unsure, take the slightly darker option. A darker thread disappears into the cloth, a lighter one shows at once, especially along seams that catch the light.
How do I match the tone of an old seam?
Through the colour number if you still have it. Otherwise lay the thread straight onto the seam in daylight — artificial light shifts colours more than people expect.
