Samstilltrar

Samstilltrar, also known as samstilltråd, is a type of textile thread commonly used in the production of knitted and crocheted items. The term "samstilltrar" is derived from Swedish, where "sam" means "together" and "still" means "thread." This name reflects the thread's role in binding yarn together during the knitting or crocheting process.

Samstilltrar is typically made from polyester, a synthetic fiber known for its durability and resistance to shrinking. It is available in various colors and sizes, with the most common sizes being 2.0mm, 2.5mm, and 3.0mm. The thread is usually sold in spools, with each spool containing a specific number of meters.

The primary function of samstilltrar is to provide tension and stability to the knitted or crocheted fabric. It helps to maintain the shape and structure of the finished product by keeping the yarns in place. Additionally, it can be used to repair or reinforce damaged areas of knitted or crocheted items.

Samstilltrar is a versatile and essential tool for anyone involved in knitting or crocheting. Its availability in different colors and sizes allows for a wide range of creative possibilities. However, it is important to note that samstilltrar is not suitable for all types of yarn, and it is recommended to use it only with synthetic fibers.
