Dusty Pink is no signal colour but a warm middle tone with character. 2500 m per cone: overlock thread runs through fast, which is why the cones are this large. Colour code 0637. Thread tension may sit slightly lower than for sewing thread — this one is softer.
Suitable for neatening cut edges on jersey and wovens alike. Amann makes Trojalock to a constant quality, so colours you started can be topped up later. Keep to the looper order when threading, otherwise the stitch does not form. A large cone survives several projects before it runs out.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Altrosa is suitable for
- neatening cut edges on jersey
- edges on clothing worn against skin
- seams on children's clothes washed often
Sewing tips
- Für den Vierfadenstich vier Spulen, für den Dreifadenstich drei.
- Nadelfäden in der Stoffarbe, Greiferfäden ruhig neutral — das spart beim Farbwechsel Zeit.
- Die Fadenspannung etwas geringer wählen als beim Nähgarn, das Garn ist weicher.
- Erst einen Probestreifen auf demselben Stoff nähen und dann nachstellen.
- Spulen stehend und vor Licht geschützt lagern; ein Netz verhindert das Abwickeln.

Frequently asked questions
Does it suit a coverstitch machine?
Yes. A coverstitch machine takes the same soft thread; only the tension has to match. On visible cover seams it pays to match the tone closely to your fabric.
What is the colour code for?
It is the identity of this colour. With overlock thread you restock often, since four threads run at once — the code makes you hit the same tone reliably.
How far does one cone go?
The large cones are built to survive several projects. How fast they empty depends on how many edges you neaten and how many threads you run.
Can I mix different threads in one seam?
In the loopers yes, on the needle threads rather not. Different threads stretch by different amounts, and your seam then pulls together unevenly or ripples along the edge.
