Terracotta sits in the warm part of the palette and suits anywhere a seam may show without shouting. 500 m at weight 100 — enough for several garments. Colour number 1336. If you need this tone on several pieces, buying two spools at once is the safer move.
For repairs the colour number decides: with it you match the old seam's tone instead of guessing. This thread comes from Amann and is a classic sewing thread — bred not for sheen but for clean, durable seams. A spool this size survives several garments before it runs out.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Terrakotta is suitable for
- clothing from wovens and knits
- repairs on existing seams
- topstitching meant to lie flat
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.
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.
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.
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.
