Description
Fine knit drapes softly and reads refined — the fabric for jumpers, dresses and cardigans. Weight per square metre comes to 360 g/m², width to 150 cm. It is woven from 15 % Nylon, 40 % polyester and 45 % viscose.
In Dusty Pink the fabric reads friendly and light — the obvious pick for children's clothes and summer pieces. Its marled look comes from light and dark fibres and makes the surface livelier than a plain tone. If you work with this group of goods for the first time, sew a test seam on a scrap first.
What Feinstrick Kai by Swafing Altrosa meliert is suitable for
- appliqué and patches
- decor and home accessories
- inserts and facings

Frequently asked questions
Can I combine different fabrics?
Yes, as long as care and stretch match. A firm special beside a soft knit needs a stay tape in the seam, otherwise the join pulls crooked.
Which needle do I need?
One that suits the thickness. On dense qualities one size up from usual, on fine meshes and tulle a fine needle, so no holes remain.
What do I watch for while sewing?
Calm and fixing. Thick or slippery goods shift; clips hold better than pins, and a walking foot helps with several layers. A test seam on a scrap answers stitch length and tension in two minutes.
Is it suitable for children?
For soft toys, blankets and decor yes. For clothing it depends on the quality — anything that scratches or sheds does not belong straight against skin.
