Royal Blue reads calm and matter-of-fact. As a seam the tone disappears on blue fabric and steps forward on light. The spool holds 500 m. Weight 100 is the fineness domestic machines expect, and colour number 1304 sits on the spool base. This thread is bred not for sheen but for a seam that holds.
This thread does not fray and runs quietly through the guides. Exactly that keeps long seams uneventful. Troja is no embroidery thread: it does not shine, but it takes strain. For structural seams that is the right direction.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Royalblau is suitable for
- bags, pouches and cushion covers
- topstitching meant to lie flat
- 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
Which thread belongs on the bobbin?
This same thread in this same colour. Different tones above and below show along the seam as soon as your fabric moves. Only embroidery follows another rule.
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.
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.
