Dunkelgrün 564 is a deep, rich shade of green with no pattern – calm enough for everyday wear, yet bold enough not to look faded. As a solid colour it combines easily with other tones and works well for both children's clothing and adult patterns.
At 220 g/m² this jersey has medium weight: it drapes softly, but carries enough substance to stay opaque without showing through. The hand feel is smooth and supple, typical of cotton jersey.
Thanks to the 5 percent elastane content, the fabric stays stretchy and holds its shape even after repeated wear and washing. Residual shrinkage is 5 percent, so pre-washing before cutting evens this out.
What Vanessa Dunkelgrün is suitable for
- Suitable for dresses, as the 220 g/m² weight keeps the fabric opaque enough not to show through.

- Suitable for shirts and leggings, as the knit fabric moves with the body and retains its elasticity.
