Woolly Nylon^RT is traditionally used for sewing lingerie, but it is also excellent for collars, cuffs and edges. The recent Strawberries & Cream Tabard collar edge was finished with woolly nylon to provide a stretchy neckline that lays flat against the skin. Concord Ivory (510) thread becomes invisible when sewn in this manner.

I also have dark brown (almost black) woolly nylon for use with dark colors. Woolly nylon can be used as an alternative to elastic to reinforce cuffs, or garment areas for yarns that may lose their elasticity (i.e. develop a permanent stretch) with use.

Thread: Woolly Nylon Serger Thread, YLI, made in Japan, 100% nylon, 1000 m.
