Grey here is a mid grey with a hint of green in it. A base shade that stays in the background — it carries colour blocking without shouting.
The face side carries that typical boucle structure of small, densely set curls; reverse side is a smooth fleece in same tone. So fabric still looks good where it gets turned outward — at a lapel, at a folded cuff, along a hood edge. At 390 g/m² material has body, yet stays far lighter than its look suggests.
Handle is soft, dry, never slick. Those 150 cm give room when cutting, especially jackets whose front panels run whole. Grey sits well next to natural white, smoke blue and dark brown.
What Teddy Boucle Fleece Grau von Swafing is suitable for
- Jackets, gilets or teddy coats — at 390 g/m² this fabric stands by itself, no lining required.
- Kids' clothing plus overalls, since fleece reverse lies flat against skin, washable at 30 degrees.
- Bags, backpacks or belt pouches, because boucle structure already works without any trim.
- Colour blocking across several shades of this range — all run 150 cm wide at same weight.

Frequently asked questions
Which needle plus foot should I use?
A medium jersey needle passes cleanly through pile as well as ground. A walking foot or roller foot helps, since upper layer likes to shift inside pile. Sew two test seams on a scrap, then your settings are set.
Does this fabric shed when cut?
Yes, curls release short fibres while being cut. Using a rotary cutter over a mat instead of scissors leaves noticeably less behind, plus a handheld vacuum right next to your table saves you wiping up afterwards.
Do I have to finish raw edges?
This knit will never fray, so raw edges stay stable. Many sewists still overlock them, because seams then lie flatter, plus less pile travels out of seam allowances into your washing machine later.
How should I care about that boucle surface?
Wash at 30 degrees, no bleach, never tumble dry — heat pulls curls straight. Dry flat, then pile lifts again by itself. Iron only at low setting, working from fleece side rather than curled face.
