French terry is the fabric for hoodies, sweat jackets and children's clothes worn all year round. At 290 g/m² and 155 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 95 % cotton and 5 % elastane.
With Petrol/Grey you get a colour that suits denim and still does not disappear into it. The brushed inside sheds at cut edges; finishing them is therefore not an optional step. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description.
What French Terry angeraut Totenköpfe Petrol/Grau von Swafing Montreal is suitable for
- dresses and tunics
- snoods and hats
- blankets and cushions
Frequently asked questions
May sweat go in the dryer?
If the care label allows it. Brushed goods turn softer in a dryer but shrink more. If you plan to tumble dry, do it once before cutting.
Is sweat only a winter fabric?
No. The lighter unbrushed version wears all year — over a shirt on summer evenings, under a jacket in winter. Only the brushed inside makes it a pure winter fabric.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes, especially with brushed goods. Sweat shrinks more than jersey, and on a finished hoodie that cannot be corrected. Wash it the way the piece will be washed later.
Why does the inside shed?
Because fibres lie loose at the cut edge. That settles after finishing and the first washes. If you want none of it, finish the edges straight after cutting.
