Viscose jersey drapes softer and more fluidly than cotton jersey. It follows the body rather than standing away. 220 g/m² at 145 cm wide: calculate your yardage from the width, not from the pattern alone. Material: 5 % elastane and 95 % viscose.
A fabric in Camel/Black looks handmade — that comes from the tone, not the material. Knits stretch — so sewing them calls for a ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or an overlocker. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Viskosejersey im Indigostyle Camel/Schwarz is suitable for
- shirts and long sleeves
- hoodies and sweat jackets
- cuffs and finishes
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.
