This thread shows Dark Grey. On jeans, sweat and anything marled it is often the least conspicuous move. The spool holds 500 m. Weight 100 is the fineness domestic machines expect, and colour number 0416 sits on the spool base. This thread is bred not for sheen but for a seam that holds.
For repairs the colour number decides: with it you match the old seam's tone instead of guessing. Amann has made Troja in the same quality for a long time. Buy a spool again and you get the tone you got the first time.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Dunkelgrau is suitable for
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- 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 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.
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.
Is the spool sold singly?
Yes, every spool is available on its own. That lets you top up one tone instead of buying a whole assortment of which half sits unused in the box.
