A clear, mid purple with no grey veil. On corduroy it reads stronger than on a smooth weave, because pile shows colour twice over.
This pile is finely ribbed, soft to touch without turning velvety. At 320 g/m² your cloth is sturdy enough for trousers or jackets, while 5 % elastane lets it give crosswise, so it sits comfortably. Wash at 30 degrees, keep it out of your tumble dryer — either would attack that pile. Skip your iron as well; steam from a distance is enough.
One point decides how corduroy turns out: lay every piece facing the same nap direction when you cut. Otherwise two trouser legs read as different shades later, although they came from one length.
What Swafing Cord Nicky Juna HW26/27 Lila 647 is suitable for
- Children's trousers, because purple has sold well there for years.
- Skirts and dresses, because this cloth falls with body.
- Pairings with natural white or grey, because both calm that purple.

Frequently asked questions
Does this corduroy stretch?
Yes, 5 % elastane lets it give crosswise. That makes trousers comfortable and forgives sitting down, but it also means: cut precisely, never stretch while sewing, or your seams will ripple.
Why should I keep the iron off this corduroy?
An iron crushes the pile flat, and those patches stay shiny for good. Use steam from a distance instead, or hang your garment in a damp bathroom. If you must press, work from the back over a towel.
Do I need to watch the nap when cutting?
Yes, and with corduroy that is the main rule. Run your hand across it: one way feels smooth, the other rough. Lay every pattern piece facing the same way, or they will look different shades later.
How should I wash this corduroy?
At 30 degrees, no tumble dryer, otherwise the pile suffers. Wash it inside out so the surface rubs less. Hang your garment in shape to dry, after which it falls smooth again by itself.
