A clear Glacier Blue: the thread stays colourfast and never turns towards grey, however often it is washed. Weight 100 and 500 m: the standard figures for sewing thread on a domestic machine. Note colour number 0408. For your bobbin the best pick is this same thread in this same colour.
If you sew a lot, stock the frequent tones. At 500 m a spool that lasts a while. A sewing thread without a special purpose: Troja is built to work on wovens and knits alike. The colour number belongs noted with your project — later you will not hit the tone otherwise.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Gletscherblau is suitable for
- topstitching meant to lie flat
- 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
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.
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.
How far does one spool go?
For a single garment it is usually enough several times over. If you plan a large project in one colour, buy two spools rather than restock mid-seam.
Can I sew buttonholes with it?
Yes. The thread is even enough in thickness for a buttonhole stitch to cover cleanly. On sturdy fabrics it helps to test the buttonhole on a scrap first.
