Strong purple is a colour children often pick themselves, suiting adults surprisingly well once the shade runs deep enough. Across the large surface of a hoodie it shows its full effect without turning garish. The sweat is softly brushed inside, warming reliably at 245 gsm; its smooth outside takes vinyl prints plus appliqués cleanly. Beside grey or anthracite the purple looks modern, fresh next to natural white. Colour-matched Heike ribbing keeps edges exactly in tone, even when sleeves get reworked later.
What Eike Lila is suitable for
- Hoodies
- Joggers
- Warm children's 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.
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.
How does Eike differ from summer sweat?
Eike is smooth outside, softly brushed inside — noticeably warmer than summer sweat. At 245 gsm it carries real substance, which makes it the right choice through autumn plus winter, while summer sweat is a lighter fabric.
Is this fabric tested regarding harmful substances?
Yes, this sweat is certified according to Oeko-Tex, meaning it has been tested regarding harmful substances. Especially in children's clothing, or anything worn directly against skin, that certification feels reassuring while sewing as well as gifting.
