Description
Mottled dark grey suits anyone preferring dark without black. The melange gives the surface depth, making a jumper look more premium than plain solid grey — an effect visible constantly across good sportswear. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, which underlines that sporty character. The shade suits mottled ribbing particularly well: outer fabric and edges then speak one language, even where the greys are not exactly identical. Because the range runs colour-matched across Vanessa, Maike, Eike and Heike, a whole outfit can combine several fabric types.
What Swafing Maike French Terry Dunkelgrau 1285 is suitable for
- Jumpers and sweatshirts
- Sweat dresses
- Children's clothing

- 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

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.
What should I keep in mind when washing?
Wash at 30 degrees inside out on a gentle cycle, without bleach, skipping the tumble dryer, then iron inside out at low temperature. Pre-wash before cutting, because French terry shrinks more than jersey does.
Which fabrics match this colour exactly?
Maike is colour-matched to Vanessa, Eike and Heike by Swafing: identical colour code, identical shade. Shirt, jacket and ribbing combine without any colour deviation — practical whenever an outfit uses several fabric types.
