Copper is one of few shades working by itself in autumn: a warm red-brown carrying a glow reminiscent of leaves in afternoon sun. On a hoodie the colour looks rich without ever being intrusive. The sweat is fluffy inside, draping opaquely plus heavily at 245 gsm. Copper pairs happily beside cream, dark brown, petrol plus dark green. Colour-matched Heike ribbing finishes sleeves plus hems in exactly the same tone, which makes the metallic shade look especially premium.
What Eike Kupfer is suitable for
- Hooded jumpers
- Sweat jackets
- Warm everyday clothing
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
Which needle plus stitch work best?
Sew using a stretch or jersey needle in size 80 to 90, since this fabric is thicker than jersey. An overlocker or elastic stitch keeps seams stretchy; neaten the cut edges, because the brushed inside sheds small fibres.
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.
How should I finish hems plus sleeves?
The neatest finish uses Heike ribbing in the same colour code rather than a folded hem, since that adds far less bulk at sleeves or hips. The shade matches exactly, because both ranges share one colour code.
