A full Blue Green: the thread keeps a clean tone and holds its depth under artificial light too. Colour code 71792 and 2500 m of yardage — the figures that let this same tone be reordered. 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 differs from sewing thread mainly in its twist — softer, and therefore less stiff along an edge. Change needles regularly; blunt points drag at a soft thread.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Blaugrün 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.
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 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.
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.
