Dark Green stands on its own. As topstitching on natural fabrics it gives a contrast that never turns intrusive. At 500 m per spool this thread goes a long way. Weight 100 suits the usual universal needles, and the colour number is 0757. Together with a sharp needle, stitch formation stays clean even on long seams.
For assembling as much as for topstitching: at weight 100 your seam lies flat and adds no bulk. Amann builds Troja as a thread for everyday work: evenly twisted, strong enough for load-bearing seams and in a colour range covering the usual fabric tones.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Dunkelgrün is suitable for
- clothing from wovens and knits
- topstitching meant to lie flat
- patchwork and quilting
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.
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.
How should I store the spools?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Direct sun bleaches the outer layers over time, and then the tone no longer matches the number on the spool.
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.
