A bright hoodie in winter instantly feels friendlier than the usual dark shades — natural white suits that perfectly, staying warm plus creamy instead of glaring coolly. Beside camel, copper or dark green it builds classic winter combinations. This brushed sweat weighs 245 gsm, its inside softly raised, keeping you reliably warm. Light fabrics reward care: pre-wash before cutting, avoid placing cut pieces onto dark fabrics, run the first washes separately. The natural white then keeps its tone far longer.
What Eike Naturweiß 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.
What is brushed sweat fabric best used for?
Brushed sweat is the classic choice when sewing hoodies, sweat jackets, joggers or warm children's clothing. The softly brushed inside keeps you noticeably warm, making Eike the go-to fabric in autumn or winter projects that should be comfy yet durable.
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.
