Deep Brown is a warm, muted tone. On leather, cork and canvas it looks like it belongs rather than applied. This spool carries 500 m of thread at weight 100 plus colour number 1002 — by eye alone you rarely hit the tone again. The spool is sold singly, so you can top up one specific tone on purpose.
It also serves for buttonholes and decorative stitches, being even in thickness and easy for a machine to guide. A sewing thread from Amann that stands in your box before you need it — that is what Troja is for.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Tiefbraun is suitable for
- hems on trousers and skirts
- children's clothes washed often
- 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
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.
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.
Can I mix different threads in one piece?
Better not within one seam. Different threads stretch differently, and your seam then pulls unevenly. Between two separate seams on the same piece it is no problem.
