This thread shows White — light enough to work as topstitching on dark fabric, calm enough to stay quiet on pale cloth. At 2700 m a cone lasts across several projects. The colour code reads . A test strip on the same fabric shows faster than any table whether your tension is right.
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.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Weiß is suitable for
- coverstitch seams on cuffs
- 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
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.
What is the colour code for?
It is the identity of this colour. With overlock thread you restock often, since four threads run at once — the code makes you hit the same tone reliably.
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.
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.
