Chunky ribbed cuffing carries a strong rib, drawing back together after every stretch. Its handle stays firm, elastic.
This one measures 31 cm across, weighing 517 g/m²; its composition reads 95 % cotton plus 5 % elastan. Wash it once before cutting, so its length stays stable afterwards.
Petrol pairs readily alongside plain shades; anyone wanting contrast sets it beside something stronger. Sold by metre, so you cut whatever your project takes — leftovers still serve bags, appliqué plus small pouches.
What Bündchen Grobstrick Petrol is suitable for
- Cuffs along sleeves plus trousers, because that rib holds every finish.
- Necklines wanting a cuff that sits close.
- Contrasting against smooth sweat fabrics.
Frequently asked questions
Which needle does this want?
A jersey or stretch needle. Its rounded point pushes stitches aside instead of piercing them — a universal needle leaves small ladders that only show after washing.
Why do cut edges curl?
Because knitted fabric sits under tension along a cut. That is normal, disappearing once an edge gets bound or hemmed. While cutting, let your fabric lie flat rather than pulling it.
Which stitch survives the stretch?
A narrow zigzag, or your machine's stretch stitch. A straight seam snaps while dressing, because it cannot follow. An overlocker works fastest, though nothing requires one.
Should I pre-wash?
Yes, once before cutting. Knits containing cotton draw up slightly during their first wash, which should happen while your fabric remains yardage rather than a finished garment.
