Description

Navy as a melange is among the most rewarding ribbings around: dark enough for any day, lively enough never to look stern. Blended fibres give the blue depth, almost like fine knitwear. The fabric measures approximately 100 cm across, yielding every edge of a jumper from one short strip. Around children's clothing the shade proves doubly practical: matching nearly every pair of trousers, showing stains late, reading neither typically male nor female — ribbing needed again across years.

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 does the melange look appear?

The melange comes of finely blended fibres, giving ribbing a lively, subtly speckled depth. It suits mottled sweat fabrics particularly well, letting edges appear less flat than plain solid ribbing would.

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.
