Overlock Thread Old Lilac (829) - 3000 Yards

Overlock Thread Old Lilac (829)

This cone shows a restrained, muted lilac with a warm, dusty undertone, something between mauve and faded rose. In the photo you can see how the yarn is wound tight and evenly, with a soft sheen that tells you this is smooth polyester thread. The yellow core is a practical bonus, so you'll spot the cone right away among the rest of your stash. A color that blends easily into projects with pink, purple or grey tones and never looks out of place.

What is this material

This overlock thread is made from two strands twisted tightly together, giving you yarn that's strong and hardly sheds at all. The finish keeps pilling low and tearing strength high, exactly what you need for sustained overlock work. Because of the synthetic fiber base, the thread is supple and glides smoothly through the machine without snagging or breaking. It works on just about any overlock machine or serger, with needle sizes between 70/10 and 90/14. At thickness 120 (40s/2), this ranks among the most requested threads, precisely because of that combination of strength, smoothness and consistency.

Uses

This thread works well for projects where you want a clean, professional finish without fuss. Think of:

• Overlocking seams in garments
• Finishing fabric edges on dresses and blouses
• Couture seams for knit and jersey
• Working with bedding and home textiles
• Custom work on children's clothing
• Repairs and hemming on existing garments
• Making bags and accessories with overlock edges
• Combining with other thread colors for decorative stitching

If you prefer working with straight sewing thread for visible stitches or details, check out Sewing Threads. This thread is even stronger and sheds even less, a nice option if you're after extra quality for finer seam work.
