Description
Knit fabric looks knitted and behaves that way: stretchy, soft and with visible stitch structure. The fabric is 150 cm wide and weighs 360 g/m². It is made from 15 % Nylon, 40 % polyester and 45 % viscose.
Purple sits between red and blue and so reads neither warm nor cold — which makes the tone versatile. Marled, the fabric reads less severe than plain — and marks show on it less. Press from the reverse and at moderate heat; otherwise the pile flattens and stays that way.
What Feinstrick Kai by Swafing Lila meliert is suitable for
- appliqué and patches
- soft toys and playthings
- cushions and blankets

Frequently asked questions
Can I wash it?
The care label on the article says. This group ranges from washable to dry-clean only — there is no blanket answer. When in doubt, test on a scrap before the finished piece gets wet.
How much fabric do I need?
With pile, more than the pattern states: since all pieces must lie the same way, waste arises. Allow extra when the web is narrow. On a narrow web it pays to plan the cutting layout on paper first.
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them — especially in this group. Small pieces become appliqué, ears for soft toys, coasters or inserts, and the edge need not even be finished.
Does the fabric fray?
Most qualities in this group do not — felt, fleece, boiled wool and tulle keep their edge. With woven specials such as lace or sequin fabric it is different.
