Wine Red belongs among the colours you never use in passing — they shape the look of the finished piece. This spool carries 500 m of thread at weight 100 plus colour number 0918 — by eye alone you rarely hit the tone again. Part-used spools keep their tone longest when stored upright and in the dark.
From cotton fabrics to polyester blends the colour range covers most of what a fabric shop carries. Even thickness over the whole length — that is how you recognise a good sewing thread, and Troja keeps to it. Change your needle regularly; a blunt point drags at the thread and makes it break.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Weinrot is suitable for
- repairs on existing seams
- topstitching meant to lie flat
- 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 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.
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.
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.
What is this thread made of?
It is a synthetic sewing thread, evenly twisted and therefore resilient. Unlike pure cotton it does not lose strength along a seam when washed often.
