Description
This lighter light blue nuance sits precisely between baby blue and muted blue: mild enough around small garments, muted enough never to read sugary. Against natural white or light grey it creates a very calm, Scandinavian-feeling combination. The fine rib stretches widely, springing back reliably — important around baby clothing pulled over heads daily. Small garments need little fabric, so a short piece often covers sleeves, legs and neckline. Around a first baby wardrobe several coordinated shades therefore repay a look.

Frequently asked questions
How do I cut ribbing correctly?
Cut the strip crosswise to the selvedge, where the stretch runs, then fold it lengthwise along the crease. Rule of thumb: neckbands about two thirds to three quarters of the neckline, sleeve or hem bands slightly shorter than the circumference.
How wide is this ribbing fabric?
The fabric measures approximately 100 cm across. Several ribbing strips fit side by side, which means even a short length covers sleeves, hem and neckline of one complete jumper without running short.
What does fine rib mean?
Fine rib describes the narrow, regular rib structure of the knit. It makes the fabric especially stretchy crosswise while creating that typical firm ribbing handle. Against coarse rib knits, fine rib looks neater, adding less bulk at necks or sleeves.
How firm is this ribbing at 240 gsm?
At 240 gsm the ribbing carries enough substance to hold edges permanently in shape, yet stays soft enough around necklines. It adds little bulk at sleeves, matching jersey and sweat fabrics nicely in weight.
