Industrial Sewing Machine Needles SCHMETZ DPx5 SKL – for Very Coarse Knitwear (10 pcs)

SCHMETZ DPx5 SKL are industrial sewing machine needles with a SKL (Special Ball Point) extra wide, strongly rounded ballpoint tip. This tip pushes the yarn loops aside without tearing or piercing the fibers – ideal for elastic and very coarse knitwear.

Applications

• Medium coarse to very coarse elastic knit materials with coated elastomer threads (Spandex/Lycra with coating)
• Very coarse and thick knitwear with large loops
• Sweater knits, coarse knits
• Sports and activewear parts with elastic fibers

Why choose SKL?

• Very rounded, wide ballpoint tip – perfectly pushes aside threads and loops without creating holes even in very elastic fabrics.
• Maximum material protection – fibers are not pierced, no snagging or pulling.
• Stable stitch in elastic fabrics – fewer missed stitches, consistent seam.
• Chrome coating – less heat, high wear resistance, and smooth sliding at high speed.

Most suitable materials (examples)

• Medium coarse and very coarse knitwear
• Sweater knits and rib knits
• Elastic fabrics with coated elastomer threads
• Bright, loosely knitted knitwear products with large loops
