Description

Mottled blue is the all-rounder among blue sweat fabrics: medium in tone, lively in surface, therefore less stern than a plain solid. Beside jeans, grey trousers and striped shirts it looks like it always belonged. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, suiting jumpers, hoodies and dresses. Around children's clothing the melange proves especially practical: its subtly speckled surface shows stains later than a solid fabric — small sewing irregularities disappearing along with them. Pre-wash before cutting, so the finished garment still fits correctly after its first wash.

What Maike Blau is suitable for

Transitional jumpers
Dresses and skirts
Warm shirts

Sewing tips

Vorwaschen (French Terry läuft stärker ein als Jersey)
Stretch-/Jerseynadel 80, bei mehreren Lagen 90
Overlock oder elastischer Stich, Kanten versäubern weil die Schlingen fransen
Abschlüsse mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode statt Umschlag
bei mehreren Lagen Nähfußdruck runter oder Obertransportfuß
Plots auf die glatte Außenseite, vorher am Reststück testen
links bügeln bei niedriger Temperatur, nicht auf die Schlingenseite

Matching colour code 1253

Frequently asked questions

Which needle and stitch work best?

Sew using a stretch or jersey needle in size 80, moving up to 90 across several layers at a hood or waistband. An overlocker or elastic stitch keeps seams flexible; neaten the edges, since the loops inside otherwise fray.

How does the melange look appear?

The melange comes of finely blended fibres, giving the surface a lively, subtly speckled depth. Garments appear less flat than plain solids, while small sewing irregularities barely show against the moving surface.

Is this fabric tested regarding harmful substances?

Yes, this French terry is certified according to Oeko-Tex, meaning it has been tested regarding harmful substances. Especially in children's clothing, or anything worn against skin, that certification feels reassuring while sewing as well as gifting.

How economical is the 150 cm fabric width?

At 150 cm this fabric runs wider than many cottons. Larger pattern pieces such as backs, fronts or hoods fit side by side, lowering consumption per garment, so even adult sizes can be cut economically.
