Description

Purple as a melange loses the sweetness plain purple sometimes carries: blended fibres break the colour open, letting it read more grown-up. Beside grey, anthracite and natural white the shade fits particularly well. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, suiting dresses as readily as jumpers. Purple returns in waves through children's fashion; mottled, it becomes the more wearable version — also around adults liking colour without wanting a pastel. Because the range runs colour-matched across Vanessa, Maike, Eike and Heike, a whole outfit can combine several fabric types.

What Maike Lila 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 1646

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.
