Ocker 315 is a warm, muted yellow with an earthy undertone – not a bright sunshine shade, but a calm colour that sits well next to brown, teal and natural white and works just as happily in autumn as in summer.
Made from 94% cotton and 6% elastane, the jersey feels soft and smooth with the gentle, springy handle typical of a knit. At 220 g/m² it belongs to the medium-weight qualities: opaque enough for dresses and skirts, yet soft enough for bodysuits and tees worn right against the skin. The elastane gives the fabric recovery, so knees and elbows keep their shape. It drapes softly without running away from you – seams and cuffs hold their line.
The fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and comes 155 cm wide.
What Vanessa Ocker is suitable for
- Tees and long-sleeve tops, as 220 g/m² gives enough body for tidy seams while the fabric stays soft.
- Dresses and skirts, because the medium-weight jersey is opaque and falls softly.
- Leggings and bodysuits for children, since 6% elastane provides stretch and good recovery.
- Everyday children's clothing, as the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification and the 30 °C wash suit frequent laundering.
Sewing tips

Frequently asked questions
Is this jersey opaque enough for a dress?
Yes. At 220 g/m² Vanessa is a medium-weight jersey, and even in a lighter shade such as Ocker 315 it stays opaque enough for dresses and skirts without feeling stiff or heavy.
How much does the fabric stretch?
With 6% elastane the jersey has noticeable stretch, mainly across the width, plus good recovery. That makes it suitable for close-fitting patterns such as leggings and bodysuits.
Will it shrink in the wash?
A residual shrinkage of 5% is stated. Pre-wash the fabric before cutting, using the same care you plan for the finished garment – washing is at 30 °C.
How do I care for this jersey?
Wash at 30 °C and iron on a low setting. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry. The fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
