Description

Two old mint nuances within one range look redundant at first — until ribbing must match an outer fabric exactly. Side by side, two muted mints then reveal how differently they read: 265 being the cooler, clearer one. Containing 95 % cotton alongside 5 % elastane, this fine rib stays skin-friendly, tested according to Oeko-Tex. As a finish against natural white or grey sweat fabrics the shade looks very calm; combined alongside dusky pink it builds that soft pastel family children's fashion has favoured for years.

What Heike Altmint is suitable for

Ribbing on hoodies and sweat jackets
Waistbands on joggers
Necklines

Frequently asked questions

Which needle and stitch work best?

Sew using a stretch or jersey needle in size 75 to 80, moving up to 90 across several layers at a hood or waistband. An overlocker or elastic stitch keeps the seam flexible, while a straight stitch snaps as the garment is pulled on.

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.
