DCx27 KN, B-27 KN — SCHMETZ Industrial Overlock Needles for Fine Knitwear, 10 pcs.

DCx27 KN, B-27 KN are SCHMETZ industrial overlock needles for fine and very fine knits. The particularly slim KN design helps pierce delicate knits gently, reducing the risk of thread damage, visible needle holes, and seam puckering.

KN needle features

KN (Slim Needle) is a needle with a special geometry, featuring a slim cylindrical working part, a reduced cross-section around the eye, and a rounded point. Compared with a standard needle, this design reduces the force required to pierce the material.

KN needles are suitable for delicate knits where it is important to preserve the material’s structure and reduce the risk of needle damage.

Suitable materials

• Very fine knits.
• Thin, delicate knits.
• Knitted fabrics with a fine structure.
• Materials that require gentle piercing and smaller needle holes.

Compatibility with industrial overlock machines

Designed for industrial overlock machines whose technical documentation specifies the DCx27 KN or B-27 KN needle system. Before purchasing, check your overlock machine’s needle system and choose an NM size that suits the material and sewing thread.

Recommendation: For very fine knits, compare the KN needle design with the SF design. The SF has an even slimmer eye and point area. Test the result on a sample of the material before sewing.
