Sun Yellow is not a tone for hiding. It belongs where things are meant to be seen. Each spool carries 500 m of sewing thread at weight 100, and the colour number reads 0607. Part-used spools keep their tone longest when stored upright and in the dark.
Meant equally for clothing, bags and home textiles — this thread is tuned to the domestic machine rather than to a special case. The spools are cleanly wound and feed without loops. That sounds minor but decides how calm your sewing goes. Change your needle regularly; a blunt point drags at the thread and makes it break.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Sonnengelb is suitable for
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- patchwork and quilting
- alterations to shop-bought clothing
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
Can I use this thread on an overlocker?
Better not. Overlock thread is softer and finer so the edge adds no bulk, and it comes on larger cones. Sewing thread runs restlessly in an overlocker and builds bulk.
Why does my thread break?
Usually the thread is not at fault: a blunt needle, tension set too tight or a wrong threading path is. Change the needle first, then check the tension.
What stitch length is right?
For most fabrics it sits in the middle of your machine's range. The thicker the fabric, the longer the stitch — short stitches in thick material pucker a seam.
May I iron over the seam?
Yes, at the temperature your fabric allows. The thread takes ordinary ironing heat; caution belongs with delicate fabrics rather than with the thread itself.
