Mint brings spring freshness into winter wardrobes: a delicate, light green chosen again plus again in baby wear — friendly, gender-neutral, wonderfully soft in photos. The brushed sweat still warms properly: 245 gsm, fluffy inside, smooth outside. First blankets, harem trousers plus little zip jackets benefit of the fabric's stretch, easing dressing plus undressing. Mint is happily combined alongside white, grey plus delicately patterned jerseys; braver pairings reach to berry or mustard. Sewing a newborn gift? This shade rarely misses.

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 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 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.
