A light, clear tone: White covers well and does not yellow — even after many washes your seam stays as pale as on day one. 500 m, weight 100, colour number 2000: printed on the spool so the colour stays reorderable. Part-used spools keep their tone longest when stored upright and in the dark.
This thread does not fray and runs quietly through the guides. Exactly that keeps long seams uneventful. Troja belongs to the threads you do not explain but simply use. It sits in almost every sewing box and sews most of what lands there.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Weiß is suitable for
- topstitching meant to lie flat
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- 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.
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.
Can I sew buttonholes with it?
Yes. The thread is even enough in thickness for a buttonhole stitch to cover cleanly. On sturdy fabrics it helps to test the buttonhole on a scrap first.
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.
