Textured sewing threads with rather specific uses.
Light and "fluffy" thread for loopers on overlock seams. The thread almost merge with the fabric and gives soft edges.
Especially great on children's clothes and swimwear. These threads are often called "woolly nylon".
You only need two cones (3 for some coverstitches) since the needles uses regular sewing threads.
The thread is quite elastic compared to normal threads and hence is not suitable for regular seams.
You can also use this thread for coverstitching.
Due to the elasticity the thread is rather durable despite the thickness. Woolly nylon is very common on store-bought clothes, especially underwear and swimwear.
