Polyester Overlock Thread (DTY)

Soft and bulky, for overlocking knits and stretch fabrics.

Polyester overlock thread (DTY)

Made from polyester draw-textured yarn (DTY), this thread is bulky, soft, and slightly elastic with good coverage. It is mainly used as looper and bottom thread in overlock and coverstitch seams.

Why choose Polyester Overlock Thread (DTY)?

  • Bulky yarn covers the edge well for full, even seams
  • Soft against the skin in close-fitting garments
  • Stretches with the fabric, so seams are less likely to burst
  • Dyed to a shade card or your sample
