This yellow feels bold and warm without tipping into neon territory - a sunny shade that gives children's clothing a friendly, fresh look and works just as well as a pop of colour in adult garments.
The hand feel is soft and smooth, typical for a medium-weight jersey at 220 g/m². The 5% elastane content gives the fabric the stretch it needs to move with the body without losing its shape over time.
In drape, the fabric is opaque enough for dresses while staying light enough to flow softly rather than stand stiff. The surface is smooth and even, with no pattern to distract, letting the colour speak for itself.
At 155 cm wide, even larger pattern pieces fit comfortably on the fabric. The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification makes it a safe choice for children's clothing and bodysuits.
