Description

Petrol belongs among the few strong colours wearable across years without turning dated. As ribbing this deep blue-green sets colour while staying calm enough around everyday clothing. The fabric measures approximately 100 cm across, yielding every edge of a jumper from one short strip. Petrol works especially well beside natural white, mustard, grey and terracotta. Anyone sewing around adults also values that the shade reads neither typically female nor male, suiting nearly every project.

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 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.
