Hellgelb 112 is a bright, clear yellow with no green or orange undertone – a shade that recalls warm sunlight and works especially well for cheerful kidswear.
The Vanessa jersey feels soft and smooth to the touch, and at 220 gsm it falls into the medium-weight range, giving it a pleasant, stable drape. It sits nicely against the skin without clinging, and moves easily with the body.
Thanks to the 5 percent elastane content, the fabric has good recovery and keeps its shape even after repeated wear and washing. The surface is smooth and even, with no pattern, so the colour itself takes centre stage.
At a width of 155 cm, the fabric cuts economically, even for larger pattern pieces.
What Vanessa Hellgelb is suitable for
- Suitable for dresses, as the 220 gsm weight is opaque enough for this purpose.
- Suitable for bodysuits and kidswear, as it is soft enough for sensitive skin.
- Suitable for shirts and leggings, as the 5% elastane content provides good stretch.
- Suitable for pairing with ribbing, as the matching Heike ribbing is available in the same colour code 112.
Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen
- Kombination mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode für Bündchen und Halsausschnitte.

Frequently asked questions
How stretchy is this fabric?
Thanks to the 5% elastane content, this jersey stretches well while keeping its shape. That makes it suitable for close-fitting styles such as leggings or bodysuits.
Is the fabric opaque?
At 220 gsm, this jersey is opaque enough for dresses without feeling heavy or stiff.
Do I need to pre-wash the fabric before cutting?
Yes, pre-washing is recommended since the fabric has a residual shrinkage of 5%. This prevents the finished garment from shrinking after its first wash.
Is there matching ribbing in the same colour?
Yes, colour code 112 is also available in the Swafing Heike ribbing Uni Hellgelb, so tops and cuffs can be combined in a matching shade.
