Schlamm-Melange 1675 is a muted, earthy brown that the marled yarn keeps lively: lighter and darker fibres sit side by side, so the shade never looks flat. It works with warm and cool colours alike and hides everyday wear well.
At 220 gsm the Vanessa is a medium-weight jersey: firm enough to be opaque, soft enough to feel good against the skin. The 5% elastane gives crosswise stretch and helps elbows and knees keep their shape. The drape is calm — the fabric hangs softly without flowing.
The fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and can be washed at 30 degrees.
What Vanessa Schlamm-Melange is suitable for
- Shirts and long sleeves, as the 5% elastane helps the jersey hold its shape.
- Dresses and skirts, since 220 gsm gives enough opacity.
- Leggings and children's clothes, because the crosswise stretch moves along.
- Bodysuits and rompers, as 95% cotton and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 are gentle on skin.
Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen
- Kombination mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode für Bündchen und Halsausschnitte.

Frequently asked questions
Is this jersey opaque?
At 220 gsm the Vanessa is a medium-weight jersey, and in the darker Schlamm-Melange shade it is opaque enough for dresses, skirts and leggings. For very fitted patterns it is worth checking against the light.
How much does it shrink?
Residual shrinkage is 5 percent. Wash the fabric before cutting the way you will later wash the finished garment, so the size still fits after the first trip through the machine.
How do I care for it?
Wash at 30 degrees, iron on a low setting, do not bleach and do not tumble dry. This keeps the colour and the stretch of the 5% elastane intact over many washes.
Is it suitable for baby clothes?
Yes. With 95% cotton, a soft hand and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, this jersey suits bodysuits, rompers and hats worn directly against the skin.
