A chunky rib jersey with pronounced ribs that stretch strongly across width, springing back. Dyed plain, showing structure rather than shine. At 174 g/m² this cloth carries weight without turning heavy, while a 135 cm width keeps waste low even across larger pattern pieces. Composition is 94 percent cotton, 6 percent elastane, washed at 30 degrees. Washing once before cutting pays off, keeping measurements true after sewing. Press at low temperature only; a tumble dryer stays off limits here.
What Rippjersey Grobripp Sand is suitable for
- Cuffs at sleeve, waistband, because ribs spring back strongly.
- Shirts, dresses cut whole, because structure alone carries a garment.
- Hats, snoods, because it gives across width yet holds shape.

Frequently asked questions
How should I wash this?
Machine wash at 30 degrees, no bleach, no fabric softener. Keep it out of a tumble dryer; dry flat or hang. Iron at low temperature only, so surface texture stays intact, print stays crisp through repeated laundering.
Will it shrink?
Slight shrinkage at first washing is normal. Launder once before cutting, exactly how you plan caring for a finished garment, so measurements stay stable after sewing, nothing pulls out of shape.
Which needle, which stitch?
Match needle to construction: a ball point needle and stretch stitch across knits, a universal needle and straight stitch across wovens. Overlock or zigzag along raw edges keeps them from fraying.
How much should I order?
That depends on a pattern. At 135 cm wide, a simple adult top usually needs roughly one metre; dresses, fuller shapes call for correspondingly more. Sold from 0.2 m onward.
