Camel is a warm, earthy shade that sits between beige and brown, and it pairs easily with many other colours. On this Vanessa jersey the tone looks calm and understated without being dull, working just as well for children's clothing as for simple adult patterns.
The hand feel is soft and pleasant against the skin, typical of a cotton jersey with an elastane content. At 220 g/m² the fabric is medium-weight: it holds its structure without feeling stiff and drapes in soft, flowing folds around the body.
Thanks to the 5 percent elastane content, the jersey stretches in both width and length, giving it the freedom of movement needed for everyday clothing. The weight makes it opaque enough for dresses while staying soft enough for bodysuits and other pieces worn close to the skin.
What Vanessa is suitable for
- Suitable for t-shirts and long-sleeve tops, as the 220 g/m² jersey is medium-weight and comfortable against the skin.
- Suitable for dresses, as the fabric weight makes it opaque enough for this purpose.
- Suitable for bodysuits and children's clothing, as the jersey is soft enough for pieces worn close to the skin.
