Description

Dark petrol replaces navy wherever a garment can take a little more character: deep, calm, almost a very dark blue in shadow, distinctly greener in daylight. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, suiting jumpers, jackets and dresses equally. Petrol shades suit children as well as adults, reading neither typically female nor male — which is why they land so often in projects passed along later. Beside camel, mustard, grey and natural white they build long-lasting combinations.

What Maike Petrol is suitable for

Jumpers and sweatshirts
Sweat dresses
Children's clothing

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 750

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.
