French terry is smooth outside and finely looped inside. It warms noticeably more than jersey without adding bulk. Weight per square metre comes to 250 g/m², width to 145 cm. It is woven from 92 % cotton and 8 % elastane.
In Multicolour the print rather than a base colour decides the effect — which is why the motif is worth a look. With cuffing in the same tone you finish sleeves and hem cleanly, without a turned hem adding bulk. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description.
What French Terry Druck leicht angeraut Graffit Kunterbunt is suitable for
- zip-up sweat jackets

Frequently asked questions
How do I sew over thick spots?
Slowly and with reduced presser foot pressure. Where hood, facing and cuffing meet, turning the handwheel by hand beats pressing the pedal. A tailor's clapper or pliers flattens the spot first, and the needle then passes more easily.
How much fabric does a hoodie take?
For an adult model a little over twice the body length plus sleeves, more on narrow goods. Hood and pockets come on top — allow generously.
Does it suit children's clothes?
Very well. Sweat takes movement, warms and forgives imprecise seams. Because it adds bulk, cutting a size up pays off in children's sizes. The goods also stand up to knees and elbows, the first places children wear through.
How does sweat differ from jersey?
In its inside. Sweat carries loops or a brushed surface there that holds warmth; jersey is smooth on both faces. So sweat is thicker, warmer and more stable, while stretching a little less.
