Description

Lilac is a purple that never feels heavy: light, slightly cool, carrying a hint of pink. As ribbing against natural white or light grey it creates a very spring-like finish, turning surprisingly grown-up next to navy. This fine rib weighs 240 gsm, keeping its shape even when a child's jumper gets pulled over a head daily. Purple belongs among colours appearing in children's fashion in waves, then being much in demand. As narrow ribbing, lilac becomes the risk-free version: it sets a clear accent without committing a whole garment, suiting pink as readily as mint.

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.
