Description
Fine knit drapes softly and reads refined — the fabric for jumpers, dresses and cardigans. The web measures 150 cm across; its weight comes to 360 g/m². Its composition reads 15 % Nylon, 40 % polyester and 45 % viscose.
Terracotta reads luminous on pale ground and warming on dark — both work. Its marled look comes from light and dark fibres and makes the surface livelier than a plain tone. For appliqué, decor and accessories these fabrics are the obvious choice — they carry their own theme. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description.
What Feinstrick Kai by Swafing Terracotta meliert is suitable for
- appliqué and patches
- bags and pouches
- costumes and occasion wear

Frequently asked questions
The fabric sheds while cutting — what helps?
A sharp tool and patience. A rotary cutter produces less loose pile than scissors. Afterwards brush out the machine so nothing gathers in the hook area.
What is nap direction?
The direction the pile lies in. Run your hand over it and one way feels smooth, the other rough. All pattern pieces must lie the same way, otherwise they read differently in brightness.
How do I press these fabrics?
From the reverse, at moderate heat and with little pressure. On pile an iron flattens the fibres, and that spot stays visible. A pressing cloth between is always the safer option.
Does it suit appliqué?
Very well, especially when it does not fray. Cut the shape, lay it on and stitch around it with a close zigzag or by hand — no finishing needed.
