Dark Beige reads muted rather than bright. On linen that looks calmer than a pure white. At 2500 m a cone lasts across several projects. The colour code reads 1222. Thread tension may sit slightly lower than for sewing thread — this one is softer.
A neutral tone may run in the loopers: it barely shows in the finished stitch. Trojalock is strong enough for the load along an edge and soft enough that a seam adds no bulk. Change needles regularly; blunt points drag at a soft thread.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Dunkelbeige is suitable for
- neatening cut edges on jersey
- looper threads in a neutral tone
- visible edges in the fabric colour
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
Must all threads share one colour?
No. The needle threads decide what shows along the seam; a neutral tone may run in the loopers. That saves time at colour changes and looks barely different on the finished piece.
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.
How should I store the cones?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Because of their size cones usually stand in the open — a net or a box stops threads unwinding and tangling.
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.
