Hellgrün 601 is a fresh, friendly green reminiscent of young grass – clear and unassuming at the same time. In this shade, the Vanessa jersey feels light and airy, working equally well with colourful combinations or calmer, plain outfits.
The hand feel is soft and smooth, while the 220 gsm weight keeps it pleasantly medium-weight. The fabric drapes cleanly without turning stiff, sitting well against the body without pulling. Thanks to the 5 percent elastane content, the fabric keeps its shape and stretches evenly across width and length.
At 155 cm wide, the fabric cuts economically, and the 5 percent residual shrinkage should be taken into account when pre-washing. As a medium-weight jersey, it is opaque enough for dresses and soft enough for bodysuits – a versatile base for many sewing projects.
