Description
The tone Raffia belongs to the natural shades: soft, warm and without signal value. Seams disappear into it by themselves. Weight 100 and 500 m: the standard figures for sewing thread on a domestic machine. Note colour number 1161. For your bobbin the best pick is this same thread in this same colour.
From cotton fabrics to polyester blends the colour range covers most of what a fabric shop carries. 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 Sewing Thread 500 m Raffia is suitable for
- repairs on existing seams
- hems on trousers and skirts
- children's clothes washed often
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 sew jersey with it?
Yes, but with a stretch stitch. The thread itself does not stretch; the give has to come from the stitch, otherwise your seam bursts at the first firm pull.
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.
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.
Does it suit topstitching?
Yes, as long as your seam should stay flat. For deliberately thick decorative seams on jeans there is heavier thread; for clean, discreet topstitching this one is right.
