What is this overlock thread

This yarn is made from synthetic fibers and twisted from two strands into one strong, smooth thread. That twist structure creates less lint and higher tensile strength, exactly what you need when locking seams that take a lot of stress. The finish is low-lint and high-strength, so the yarn glides smoothly through the knives and loopers of your overlock machine without breaking or fraying. Thickness #120 is the most requested size in overlock thread, precisely because it's thin enough for a neat finish but strong enough for heavy use. For anyone looking for a reliable everyday yarn, this thread proves itself again and again.

Uses and projects

This thread works well for a range of sewing projects where you use overlock stitches to finish seams or join fabrics. Consider these applications:

• Overlocking side seams in garments
• Finishing fabric edges to prevent fraying
• Locking t-shirts, joggers and other jersey knits
• Working with bedding and household textiles
• Sewing bags and accessories where sturdy seams are needed
• Production work in studios and sewing workshops
• Repairs and hems where grey thread goes unnoticed
• Combining with other overlock thread colors for multi-thread overlock stitches
