Navy is a cool tone that comes out especially clean on warm fabric. On denim it lies almost tone on tone. The cone holds 2500 m — with four threads running at once, an amount that lasts a while. Colour code 0825. The cone is sold singly.
For rolled hems this thread shows in the looper too — there the colour helps decide the look. This thread is colourfast and takes ordinary washing, even when a piece goes into the machine regularly. To top up this tone later, note the colour code with your project.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Marine is suitable for
- neatening edges on wovens
- rolled hems on light fabrics
- 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.
Available in more colours in the Trojalock Overlockgarn series.
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.
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 neaten jersey with it?
Yes, that is the normal case. An overlock seam stretches with the fabric, and the soft thread adds no bulk to the edge — together that makes it right for knits.
