A full Lime Green: the thread keeps a clean tone and holds its depth under artificial light too. Colour code 8246 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.
On edges that stay visible later it pays to run all four threads in the same colour. Amann supplies Trojalock on large cones. Since an overlocker consumes four threads at once, that is necessity rather than convenience.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Limegrün is suitable for
- coverstitch seams on cuffs
- seams on children's clothes washed often
- 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
How many cones do I need?
Four at once for the common four-thread stitch, three for the three-thread stitch. A seam in one colour throughout therefore needs several cones of that tone rather than one.
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.
Is the cone sold singly?
Yes, every cone on its own. For a seam in one colour throughout you order several; for coloured needle threads with neutral loopers one cone per tone often suffices.
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.
