Rosa 432 is a soft, gentle pink – warm enough to give children's clothing a friendly look, yet calm enough for shirts and dresses without feeling like a loud statement colour. The tone stays even and dense, typical for a solid jersey.
At 220 g/m² this jersey sits in the mid-weight range: it drapes softly on the body without becoming see-through, and works well for dresses or shirts alike. The blend of 95% cotton and 5% elastane gives it a pleasant stretch that you notice when putting garments on or moving, without the fabric losing its shape over time.
On the skin it feels soft and easy to wear, which also makes it a comfortable choice for sensitive children's skin. The 155 cm width leaves enough room when cutting out different pattern pieces.
