Cool and clear: Sky Blue suits shirts, bags and anything not meant to read warm. This spool carries 500 m of thread at weight 100 plus colour number 1303 — by eye alone you rarely hit the tone again. If you need this tone on several pieces, buying two spools at once is the safer move.
Meant equally for clothing, bags and home textiles — this thread is tuned to the domestic machine rather than to a special case. Amann Troja is evenly twisted and therefore resilient. Your seam stays where you set it, even after many washes.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Himmelblau is suitable for
- clothing from wovens and knits
- buttonholes on a domestic machine
- 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
Which colour do I pick when I cannot match the fabric?
When unsure, take the slightly darker option. A darker thread disappears into the cloth, a lighter one shows at once, especially along seams that catch the light.
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.
Does this thread fit every sewing machine?
In the usual domestic machines yes. The spool sits on the normal pin; with a vertical pin a felt disc underneath helps the thread feed evenly.
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.
