Properties:
The bulked filaments create a soft, slightly elastic seam that prevents skin irritation, and a robust, stretchable seam that is essential for knit fabrics.
Uses:
Made for next-to-the-skin garments in mainly knit fabrics: sportswear, underwear, swimwear and children's clothing. For anyone who likes quick, fun, colourful and comfy makes, an overlocker and this thread are a great way into clothing for the whole family, from sweatshirts and T-shirts to leggings, underwear and swimwear.
Once your tension and threading are right, you will never look back on these superb-value bulk polyfilament thread boxes.
Additional Inspiration
Overlocker Hampers: Perfect for quick makes using jerseys, interlocks and sweatshirt fabrics with the filament thread. Filament thread can be tricky to thread. Try the lasso method for the lower loopers, and invest in good overlock tweezers. When threading the tension discs, pull the thread in a little, so it sits properly in the discs. To run the smaller cones on a domestic sewing machine, make a large cone stand: some people stand the cone in a cup and run the thread through a large tube or straw and back over the machine.
Zip Hampers: Create multi-pocketed sports-look garments, bags and other accessories. Definitely something to get your creative juices flowing. This will be your zip stash which you'll be able to go to and say 'I think I've got a zip like that'. If a zip is too long, shorten it by sewing through the teeth to secure the end. Make zips an accent feature on a garment, or create jackets that convert to gilets with removable sleeves. There are even jacket patterns that convert to a bag!
About The Haberdashery Hampers
The contents within each hamper are a lucky dip featuring an assortment of high-quality deadstock haberdashery sourced from a British garment manufacturer making high fashion garments of excellent quality. Like many of our products, we have rescued these from potential landfill to give them a new life.
You choose the hamper option; we choose the items inside, so the exact contents are a surprise. Exclusive to our Birthday celebrations, these fantastic-value stash builders come neatly packed in a Fabworks box. Stock up while they’re here!
This is a stash buy rather than an afterthought: we know you won't use everything for one project but depending on how much you sew, whether for yourself or a business, these pieces could last you a year or more and you'll always have something to hand. Great value and far below their RRP.
