Hands-on testing pending. What follows is verified reference data and manufacturer specification, marked as such.

What we verified. The reference B07CTGLKKW designates this box on amazon.de, .fr, .it, .es and .co.uk, confirmed on EAN. The US sells a different reference, B07YMW2VYR — so an American reader is sent to their own listing rather than to a page that does not exist for them.

Why buy thread in a box of twelve. Because an overlocker uses four cones simultaneously and runs through them quickly. Buying cones individually as you need them is how people end up threading a machine with three matching colours and one that nearly matches — which is visible on the finished garment at exactly the seams you were trying to hide.

Where the textured thread goes. In the loopers, not the needles. Aeroflock spreads to cover the raw edge and sits soft against skin; put it in the needles and you get a weak, spongy seam. This is the commonest threading mistake on a new overlocker and it is entirely avoidable.
