Emerald green appears here as a deep, rich green that feels calm yet strong at the same time – a tone that leans neither blue nor yellow but stands entirely on its own.
At 220 g/m² this jersey carries enough weight to fall opaque, while still feeling soft against the skin. The 5 percent elastane content gives the typical jersey stretch you notice when putting garments on and moving in them, without the fabric losing its shape over time.
The drape is soft and flowing, as you'd expect from a medium-weight jersey: it follows the body without pulling, and keeps its shape even after repeated washing at 30 degrees. The 155 cm width works well for a range of patterns, from children's bodysuits to adult shirts.

Does the fabric shrink when washed?
Residual shrinkage is 5 percent, so it's best to wash the fabric before cutting to make sure your pattern pieces keep their intended size.
Is the fabric opaque?
At 220 g/m², this jersey is opaque enough for dresses and shirts, without feeling stiff or heavy.
