Hellblau 252 is a clear, lightened blue with no grey cast – friendly but never loud. It sits happily next to white, natural and deep navy shades, and works just as well with warmer colours.
At 220 gsm Vanessa is a mid-weight jersey: the fabric feels substantial in the hand, drapes smoothly along the body and does not break into restless folds. The 5% elastane gives good crosswise stretch with proper recovery, which keeps cuffs, sleeves and knees in shape. The surface is fine and even, the reverse just as soft – comfortable straight against the skin.
That weight also keeps this light shade opaque enough for dresses and leggings. The fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
What Vanessa Hellblau is suitable for
- Shirts, long-sleeved tops and dresses, because 220 gsm stays opaque even in a pale shade like Hellblau 252.
- Leggings and cycling shorts, since the 5% elastane provides crosswise stretch that springs back into shape.
- Children's clothes and bodysuits, as 95% cotton and the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification suit direct skin contact.
- Larger pieces such as raglan dresses or sleepwear, thanks to the generous 155 cm fabric width.
Sewing tips
