SCHMETZ Industrial Overlock Needles DCx27 (B-27) SKL for Very Coarse Knitwear - 10 pcs.

SCHMETZ DCx27 SKL, also known as B-27 SKL, are specialized needles for industrial overlock and chain-stitch machines, designed for very coarse knit fabrics and elastic materials. Their main advantage is the SKL (Special Ball Point), an extra-wide, highly rounded ball point that gently pushes fabric threads aside.

Unlike standard needles, the SKL point does not sharply pierce the material threads, but instead pushes them aside as much as possible. This helps reduce the risk of fabric damage and skipped stitches, and is especially suitable for coarse, stretchy knits where the fabric structure is thicker and more mobile.

🧵 Most suitable materials

• Very coarse knit fabrics
• Medium to coarse elastic materials
• Stretch knits with covered elastomer threads
• Fabrics with elastane
• Thicker sportswear materials
• Coarser cotton knits
• Materials where preserving thread structure is important

🎯 Main advantages

• SKL extra-wide ball point: gently pushes fabric threads aside and helps prevent material damage.
• Suitable for very coarse knits: a good choice for thicker and more elastic knit materials.
• For elastic materials: especially suitable for fabrics containing elastane or covered elastomer threads.
• Stable stitch formation: helps create an even, high-quality overlock or chain stitch.
