Soft and warm: Light Beige is the colour you pick on natural fabrics when your seam should merge with the cloth. Colour code 0779 and 2500 m of yardage — the figures that let this same tone be reordered. The cone is sold singly.
For a seam in your fabric colour, take coloured needle threads and neutral looper threads. The cone is cleanly wound and feeds without loops. With four threads running at once that counts more than usual. A large cone survives several projects before it runs out.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Hellbeige is suitable for
- neatening cut edges on jersey
- coverstitch seams on cuffs
- looper threads in a neutral tone
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
Can I use it in a sewing machine?
Better not for load-bearing seams. Overlock thread is built for softness and takes less strain than sewing thread. For decorative and basting seams it is no problem.
Does the seam take hot washing?
Yes, this thread is colourfast and copes with usual temperatures. Your fabric sets the limit: wash the piece as its material allows, not as the thread could.
Which colour do I pick when I cannot match the fabric?
When unsure, take the slightly darker option. On a neatened edge a thread that is too light shows at once, while a darker one disappears into the cloth and stays discreet.
Does it suit rolled hems?
Yes, particularly. On a rolled hem the looper thread lies visible along the edge, so here the colour decides the look rather than just the function.
