Golden yellow shows its effect wherever it meets darkness: against navy, anthracite or dark green it glows like late sunlight, turning a calm jumper into a garment carrying character. The fabric measures approximately 100 cm across, so a short piece covers every edge. Anyone easing towards strong colours starts best right here: one narrow golden strip at a sleeve or hood facing suffices entirely, while remaining easy to replace later.

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 plus 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 plus sweat fabrics nicely in weight.
