Lilac brings colour into a season otherwise full of grey plus navy: bright, friendly, carrying a hint of pink that softens the shade. On children's jumpers or sweat dresses it feels light without ever being cold. This brushed sweat warms at 245 gsm with its fluffy inside, staying pleasantly mobile thanks to elastane. Lilac combines beautifully beside natural white, light grey plus sage; anyone wanting contrast adds navy. Colour-matched Heike ribbing finishes sleeves plus hems in exactly the same tone.

- Sweat jackets
Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen. Angerauter Sweat läuft stärker ein als Jersey
- Stretch- oder Jerseynadel in Stärke 80 bis 90, der Stoff ist dicker als Jersey.
- Overlock oder elastischer Stich. Die angeraute Innenseite fusselt an den Kanten, Schnittkanten deshalb versäubern.
- Bei mehreren Lagen, etwa an Kapuze und Taschen, Nähfußdruck verringern oder Obertransportfuß nutzen, damit nichts verschiebt.
- Säume und Abschlüsse mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode statt mit Umschlag, das trägt weniger auf.
- Links bügeln, niedrige Temperatur, die angeraute Seite nicht direkt bügeln.
- Fadenlauf beachten: die Dehnung läuft quer, für Hoodies und Hosen um den Körper legen.

Frequently asked questions
What should I watch at hoods plus pockets?
Across several layers, reduce presser foot pressure or use a walking foot so nothing shifts. Mind the grain as well: the stretch runs crosswise to the selvedge, which belongs around the body on hoodies or trousers.
How stretchy is this fabric containing 5 % elastane?
The elastane content gives this sweat a pleasant crosswise stretch without bagging out. Cuffs, hoods plus sleeves keep their shape, so finished garments stay comfortable through many washes — especially important in trousers or children's clothing.
What should I keep in mind when washing?
Wash this sweat at 30 degrees inside out on a gentle cycle, without bleach, skipping the tumble dryer, then iron inside out at low temperature. Pre-wash before cutting, because brushed sweat shrinks more than jersey does.
Which fabrics match this colour exactly?
Eike is colour-matched to Vanessa, Maike plus Heike by Swafing: identical colour code, identical shade. Shirt, jacket plus cuff ribbing can be combined without any colour deviation — practical whenever an outfit is built of several fabrics.
