Silk Overlocking Thread

100% Silk Overlocking Thread – 20/22D F2×4 | 4,000 metres

This specialist 100% silk overlocking thread is made from fine continuous silk filaments and is ideal for overlocking silk and other lightweight fabrics.

Unlike synthetic overlocking threads, silk thread can be dyed, allowing you to create a beautifully coordinated finish to match your hand-dyed silk fabric or garment.

With 4,000 metres on each spool, this is a generous supply for the serious silk artist, dressmaker or textile studio.

Why choose silk overlocking thread?

When you're working with beautiful silk fabric, the finishing thread matters too.

Silk thread is fine, smooth and lightweight, with a natural lustre that complements silk rather than competing with it. Its ability to absorb dye also means you can create a thread colour that coordinates with your dyed fabric.

One thread. One colour story. A beautifully finished result.

Perfect for

• Overlocking silk fabrics
• Hand-dyed silk garments and textiles
• Fine dressmaking and couture
• Silk scarves and lightweight fabrics
