Description

Dark brown is the black for anyone preferring warmth: almost as deep in shadow, carrying chocolate shimmer in daylight. As a jumper or jacket it looks softer and more personal than pure black, framing strong colours such as copper or ochre pleasantly. This French terry drapes softly in the middle weight, its fine loops inside making it comfortable to wear. Dark shades help wherever dirt arrives quickly: on children's clothing and sleeves, dark brown stays presentable far longer than light tones.

What Maike Dunkelbraun 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 178

Available in more colours in the Maike series.

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.

What is French terry best used for?

French terry is the fabric of transitional seasons: jumpers, dresses, sweat jackets and children's clothing, whenever jersey feels too thin yet winter sweat too warm. Smooth outside, soft loops inside, it drapes softly from spring into autumn.

How does French terry differ from brushed sweat?

Both are smooth outside; inside they differ: French terry shows fine loops, brushed sweat a raised, fluffy surface. French terry therefore feels lighter and airier, while brushed sweat runs noticeably warmer, belonging rather to winter.

How stretchy is this fabric containing 5 % elastane?

A share of 5 % elastane gives this French terry a pleasant crosswise stretch without bagging out. Necklines, sleeves and cuffs keep their shape, so finished garments stay comfortable through many washes.
