Description

Dark brown has returned into fashion recently, serving as a full replacement around black. As ribbing this deep chocolate tone looks warmer, softer and considerably less stern. The fine rib stretches widely, springing back reliably, so sleeve and neck edges keep their shape. It pairs beautifully alongside cream, camel and copper — three shades forming a warm, calm autumn wardrobe together. Next to strong green or mustard the colour works excellently too.

What Heike Dunkelbraun is suitable for

  • Ribbing in children's clothing

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 much ribbing do I need?

Sleeve and hem ribbing on a jumper usually takes only a short piece, while hoodies including hood facings or pockets need more. We cut from 0.2 metres upwards, so you can order exactly what your pattern calls for.

Which fabrics match this colour exactly?

Heike is colour-matched to Vanessa, Maike and Eike by Swafing: identical colour code, identical shade. You can combine jersey, French terry or brushed sweat alongside matching ribbing, avoiding any colour deviation at the edges.

Is this ribbing tested regarding harmful substances?

Yes, the fabric is certified according to Oeko-Tex, meaning it has been tested regarding harmful substances. Ribbing sits right against skin at necks or wrists, so that certificate feels reassuring in baby clothes and children's garments.
