Altmint presents itself as a calm, muted green tone that feels neither too cool nor too sweet. The color sits between mint and sage, making it versatile for both children's and adult clothing.
The hand of this jersey is soft and smooth, as is typical for a medium-weight cotton jersey at 220 gsm. The 5% elastane content provides comfortable stretch in all directions without the fabric losing its shape over time.
In terms of drape, the jersey has enough weight to avoid clinging while still falling softly. The opacity at this weight makes it suitable for dresses without underwear showing through. At the same time, it remains soft enough for bodysuits and sensitive children's skin.
