Denim blue works like your favourite jeans: next to everything, always, without thinking. The mid-blue brings denim familiarity into sweat form — the difference being this fabric wears noticeably softer than any jeans. 245 gsm of brushed sweat featuring a fluffy inside turn trousers plus jackets made of it into everyday heroes children dress into voluntarily. The shade is the perfect middle between light aqua plus dark navy, harmonising alongside practically every patterned jersey collection. Especially pretty: denim blue carrying white drawstrings plus buttons in authentic denim style.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
