Pink suits anything meant to look light. Beside grey and beige it reads especially coherent. Each spool carries 500 m of sewing thread at weight 100, and the colour number reads 1057. Part-used spools keep their tone longest when stored upright and in the dark.
For assembling as much as for topstitching: at weight 100 your seam lies flat and adds no bulk. Troja runs quietly through guides and needle eye. That spares your machine and keeps stitch formation even. Change your needle regularly; a blunt point drags at the thread and makes it break.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Rosa is suitable for
- topstitching meant to lie flat
- 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
What is the colour number for?
It is the identity of this colour. With it you reorder the same tone years later, while comparing by eye or on a screen almost always misses.
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.
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.
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.
