Description

Dark grey is the grown-up answer replacing black: equally practical, yet softer in contrast. Against colourful ribbing or patterned panels it calms things down, looking premium rather than stern on its own. This French terry sits in the middle weight, drapes softly while holding shape — ideal around jumpers, sweat jackets and dresses worn often. Dark shades show their practical advantage daily: at sleeves or pockets, where garments soil fastest, dark grey stays presentable without washing after every wear.

What Maike Dunkelgrau is suitable for

Hoodies
Sweat dresses
Sweat jackets

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 285

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply vinyl prints or iron-on motifs?

Yes, prints belong on the smooth outside. Test on a scrap first, because the temperature must stay low. Across several layers at hoods or pockets, lower presser foot pressure or a walking foot keeps everything from shifting.

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.
