Overlock Thread Old Pink (554)

The cone shows an even, smooth build without fuzz, with a gentle sheen that reveals this is finely twisted polyester. This quality is clearly made for intensive use, neatly wound on a sturdy cone with yellow cap, ready to go straight on your machine.

What is this material

This overlock thread is made from synthetic polyester fibres twisted into a two-ply yarn. That twist gives extra strength and an even, smooth structure, so the thread flows smoothly through the looper and gripper mechanisms of your overlock machine. Low fuzz formation keeps your machine cleaner and prevents jams while sewing. Thanks to the high tensile strength, this type of thread is excellent for seams that take a lot of stress, such as on garments that get washed frequently. On the sewing threads page you'll find more background information about the different thread types we stock.
