Dark Beige reads muted rather than bright. On linen that looks calmer than a pure white. At 500 m per spool this thread goes a long way. Weight 100 suits the usual universal needles, and the colour number is 1222. On sturdy fabrics your stitch length may sit a little longer so the seam does not pucker.
This thread does not fray and runs quietly through the guides. Exactly that keeps long seams uneventful. The spools are cleanly wound and feed without loops. That sounds minor but decides how calm your sewing goes.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Dunkelbeige is suitable for
- buttonholes on a domestic machine
- 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
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.
What stitch length is right?
For most fabrics it sits in the middle of your machine's range. The thicker the fabric, the longer the stitch — short stitches in thick material pucker a seam.
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.
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.
