Description
Rib jersey shows fine lengthwise ribs and stretches especially far across. It hugs the body and keeps its shape. 150 cm wide, 220 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 100 % cotton.
The tone Lilac works especially well on grey and charcoal, where a fine rather than loud contrast appears. Its floral pattern gives the fabric its theme — depending on the cut it reads playful or calm. Knits stretch — so sewing them calls for a ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or an overlocker.

Frequently asked questions
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern and the fabric width. As a rule of thumb an adult shirt takes about twice the body length, less on wide goods. Add seam allowances and cuffing.
Do I need an overlocker?
Not necessary, but convenient. Everything works with a stretch stitch on a domestic machine — it only takes longer, since sewing and finishing stay two steps.
Which needle do I need?
A jersey or stretch needle with a ball point. It pushes the loops aside instead of piercing them. A universal needle leaves small holes that later run into ladders.
Why does the cut edge curl?
Because knits are made of loops that relax when cut. That is normal and no fault. While cutting it helps to keep the fabric flat and to use a rotary cutter.
