Description
Cotton jersey combines two things that rarely meet: tough enough for daily wear and soft enough for a baby's skin. At 150 cm wide its weight per square metre is 200 g/m². It is woven from 95 % cotton and 5 % elastane.
Light Grey is less delicate than white and friendlier than black. Everyday life lies exactly between them. Its marled look comes from light and dark fibres and makes the surface livelier than a plain tone. If you sew jersey for the first time, a simple shirt is the best start — the fabric forgives more than its reputation suggests.

Frequently asked questions
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them. Jersey offcuts become cuffing, pocket bags, hair ties or appliqué. Since the goods do not fray, even small pieces work without finishing. Even strips of a few centimetres still make a loop or a label.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Whatever shrinks later shrinks better before cutting than on the finished piece. Wash the way you will wash the garment, and dry it the same way.
How do I press a knit?
From the reverse, at moderate heat and without pulling. Direct heat on the face flattens the loops and robs the fabric of its handle. A pressing cloth between never hurts.
Can I combine different knits?
Yes, as long as the stretch is similar. A firm sweat beside a very soft jersey pulls the seam crooked. With larger differences a stay tape in the shoulder seam helps.
