Naturweiß 009 is a warm, slightly broken white with no cool blue cast. The shade looks calm and natural and stays easy on the eye even across a large garment – a base tone that sits happily next to almost any colour.
The Vanessa jersey is a medium-weight quality: at 220 gsm it feels substantial in the hand, drapes smoothly downwards and avoids hard creases. The surface is evenly smooth, with the fine knit structure showing on the right side. With 95% cotton it feels dry and kind to the skin, while the 5% elastane adds recovery so cuff areas and knees keep their shape.
The fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and can be washed at 30 °C.
What Vanessa is suitable for
- Good for tees, long sleeves and dresses, as 220 gsm makes the jersey opaque enough for larger pieces.
- Good for kidswear and bodysuits, since 95% cotton feels soft against the skin and the fabric is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified.
- Good for leggings and cycling shorts, because 5% elastane provides stretch and recovery.
- Good for wide pattern pieces such as wrap dresses or raglan tops, thanks to the 155 cm width.

Frequently asked questions
Is Naturweiß 009 opaque enough for a dress?
At 220 gsm the Vanessa jersey is a medium-weight knit and opaque enough for dresses and shirts. With very light shades such as Naturweiß it is worth holding the fabric up to the light, especially for close-fitting styles.
How does Naturweiß 009 differ from pure white?
Naturweiß 009 is a slightly broken, warm white and looks a touch creamier beside a pure white. As its own colour code the shade stays clearly reproducible within the range.
Should I prewash before cutting?
Yes, we recommend a prewash at 30 °C. Residual shrinkage is 5%, so the fabric will still pull in a little during the first wash – after washing your measurements will be reliable.
Can I get matching ribbing in the same shade?
Yes, the Vanessa palette is colour-matched across further Swafing qualities carrying the identical colour code, so cuffs and neckbands meet the jersey tone without a visible difference.
