Blau 256 is a clear, deep blue that leans neither grey nor turquoise – a shade that pairs easily with other colours from the Vanessa range.
The hand feels soft and smooth, just what you'd expect from a mid-weight jersey at 220 g/m². The 5% elastane in the blend gives noticeable stretch in every direction without the fabric losing its shape.
In drape, the jersey has enough weight to avoid clinging, yet stays soft enough to skim the body comfortably. Its opacity makes it suitable for dresses as well as for close-fitting bodysuits, without the skin showing through.
Since the fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, it can be used without hesitation for baby and children's clothing as well.

Frequently asked questions
How stretchy is this fabric?
Thanks to the 5% elastane content, the jersey stretches in every direction. For leggings, place the stronger cross-stretch around the body for the best fit.
Do I need to prewash the fabric before cutting?

Is this fabric suitable for baby clothing?
Yes, the jersey is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, making it suitable for baby clothing and sensitive skin as well.
How do I care for this fabric?
Wash the jersey at 30 degrees, avoid bleach and do not tumble dry. When ironing, use a low temperature setting.
