Blue is a cool tone that comes out especially clean on warm fabric. On denim it lies almost tone on tone. 500 m at weight 100 — enough for several garments. Colour number 1316. If you need this tone on several pieces, buying two spools at once is the safer move.
From cotton fabrics to polyester blends the colour range covers most of what a fabric shop carries. Amann Troja is evenly twisted and therefore resilient. Your seam stays where you set it, even after many washes. Before your first seam a test piece on the same fabric pays off, then tension and stitch length are right.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Blau is suitable for
- topstitching meant to lie flat
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- hems on trousers and skirts
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 do I match the tone of an old seam?
Through the colour number if you still have it. Otherwise lay the thread straight onto the seam in daylight — artificial light shifts colours more than people expect.
Is the spool sold singly?
Yes, every spool is available on its own. That lets you top up one tone instead of buying a whole assortment of which half sits unused in the box.
