Senf is a warm, earthy mustard yellow – bold enough to stand out, yet without any harsh brightness. In this jersey the colour appears rich and even, with no streaks or shading, exactly as you'd expect from a solid-coloured fabric.
At 220 g/m², Vanessa falls into the mid-weight category: the hand feels pleasantly soft while still having enough body that it never feels limp. It drapes smoothly and sits calmly on the body without riding up or pulling awkwardly.
The 95% cotton content gives a skin-friendly wearing feel, while the 5% elastane provides enough stretch for close-fitting patterns without the fabric losing its shape. With a residual shrinkage of 5%, prewashing before cutting is recommended, after which the fit stays true.
Senf 314 pairs well with other natural tones and works equally well in simple basics and in kidswear, coming across as friendly and warm.
What Vanessa Senf is suitable for
- Great for t-shirts and long-sleeve tops, since the mid-weight hand at 220 g/m² gives enough structure without feeling stiff.
- Suitable for dresses, as the fabric is opaque enough for that purpose.
- Good for baby bodysuits and kidswear, since the jersey is soft enough for sensitive skin.
- Usable for leggings, as the 5% elastane content provides the stretch needed for close-fitting patterns.
Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen
- Kombination mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode für Bündchen und Halsausschnitte.
