Description
A pale, warm orange leaning slightly yellow. On natural shades it reads friendly rather than garish; colour number 70160 makes that tone findable again.
This cone carries 2500 metres of thread — a quantity where you stop calculating and simply work. An overlocker needs three or four cones depending on your stitch; in the loopers a neutral shade will do, since you hardly see it in a finished stitch. That colour number is noted on the cone, so months later you can reorder exactly the same shade instead of comparing by eye.
What Trojalock Overlock Thread Light Orange 2500 m is suitable for
- Overlocking orange or terracotta, because this shade suits them.
- Visible overlock seams, because light orange reads friendly.
- Autumn projects, because this shade belongs to that season.
Frequently asked questions
What thread tension do I need?
Overlock thread is softer than sewing thread, so slightly lower tension usually suffices. Run a test strip on the same cloth and adjust until those threads interlock cleanly at your edge.
Can I mix colours?
Yes, that is common practice: needle threads in your fabric colour, looper threads in a neutral shade. Changing colour then means swapping two cones rather than four, which saves time.
How long does one cone last?
That depends on stitch and fabric, but 2500 metres carries across many projects. You will change colour sooner than you empty a cone — which is why a small stock pays off.
How should I store part-used cones?
Upright, away from light, so colour will not fade and dust cannot settle into your thread. A net over each cone stops loose ends unwinding and tangling.
