Koralle 636 is a warm, vibrant shade between red and orange that looks lively yet friendly on this cotton jersey. The colour sits evenly and richly on the fabric without being overpowering, making it suitable for children's clothing as well as adult garments.
At 220 g/m², this jersey falls into the medium-weight range: it drapes softly while still having enough body to stay opaque. The 5% elastane in the fibre mix gives noticeable stretch in both directions, allowing the fabric to hug the body comfortably without feeling restrictive.
On the skin it feels soft and, thanks to its cotton base, breathable. The hand is smooth and the drape even, so finished garments hold their shape nicely. A residual shrinkage of 5% should be factored in when cutting.
