Overlock Thread Lime (806)

This fresh lime green cone jumps right out at you, a colour that brings just the right amount of energy to your project. In the photo you can see how tight and even the thread is wound, with a nice smooth shine that tells you this is a finely twisted polyester thread. It's a bright, cheerful lime shade that's still subtle enough to pair well with many fabrics.

What is this material

This overlock thread is made from polyester fibres twisted into a two-ply yarn. That twist keeps the thread strong and prevents it from fraying easily, something you often see happen with cheaper threads while sewing. The finish is low-lint and high-strength, so the needle glides smoothly through the fabric without catching. The thread works universally on any overlock machine or serger and handles needle sizes from 70/10 to 90/14 just fine. Because of the even thickness, you get a tight, professional finish on the inside of your garments.

Uses

This lime overlock thread is great for anyone who sews and overlocks a lot, from beginners to experienced seamstresses and studios. Think about:

• Finishing seam edges on handmade clothing
• Overlocking knit and jersey fabrics
• Working with sportswear and swimwear in bright colours
• Finishing children's clothing where a playful shade works well
• Couture and studio work where you need plenty of thread
• Repairs and hemming in ready-to-wear garments
• Pairing with stretch fabrics thanks to the thread's flexibility
• Large-scale production where you want plenty of yardage per cone
