Beige has evolved of the bore into the darling: this warm sand shade is the base of the clean, timeless style shaping the sewing world since years. A beige hoodie next to denim always works — plus a whole family in matching outfits makes the shade downright charming. As brushed sweat at 245 gsm featuring a cuddly inside, Eike in beige is a genuine warmth package too. Tone-in-tone combinations alongside cream, camel plus mocca are fully on trend; natural white plus dark brown round off the palette. Craving accents? Rust or dark green — beige accepts both gratefully.
What Eike Beige is suitable for
- Hoodies
- Joggers
- 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
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.
How economical is the 155 cm fabric width?
At 155 cm this sweat runs wider than many cotton fabrics. Larger pattern pieces such as backs, fronts or hoods fit side by side, lowering fabric consumption per garment, so even adult sizes can be cut economically.
What should I keep in mind when washing?
Wash this sweat at 30 degrees inside out in a gentle cycle, without bleach, skipping the tumble dryer. Pre-wash before cutting: brushed sweat shrinks more than jersey, so allow up to 5 % shrinkage in your fabric calculation.
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.
