Wool White marks the light end of the range: this thread keeps a clean tone and turns into a visible line on dark fabric at once. 500 m at weight 100 — enough for several garments. Colour number 3000. The thread is evenly twisted and therefore runs through your machine without jerking.
It also serves for buttonholes and decorative stitches, being even in thickness and easy for a machine to guide. This thread comes from Amann and is a classic sewing thread — bred not for sheen but for clean, durable seams.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Wollweiss is suitable for
- repairs on existing seams
- 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
How do I set the thread tension?
For most fabrics your machine's default will do. If the seam puckers, top tension is too tight; if the top thread lies loose on the surface, it is too loose.
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 should I store the spools?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Direct sun bleaches the outer layers over time, and then the tone no longer matches the number on the spool.
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.
