With Ice Blue you cover the cool range. Beside orange and yellow it builds the strongest contrast there is. At 2500 m a cone lasts across several projects. The colour code reads 0814. The cone is sold singly.
Overlock thread is softer than sewing thread, so a finished edge adds no bulk and does not feel hard. This thread is tuned to the overlocker: it runs at high speed through the guides without untwisting. A large cone survives several projects before it runs out. Change needles regularly; blunt points drag at a soft thread.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Eisblau is suitable for
- neatening cut edges on jersey
- neatening edges on wovens
- rolled hems on light fabrics
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.
Available in more colours in the Trojalock Overlockgarn series.
Frequently asked questions
What is a cone net for?
It sits over the cone and brakes the thread slightly. At speed that stops several layers coming loose at once and the thread catching under the cone.
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.
Why does my thread break?
Usually tension set too tight, a blunt needle or a wrong threading path. On an overlocker rethreading completely in the prescribed order pays off.
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.
