Lavender works like its namesake: calming. The dusty pastel violet brings Provence serenity into winter wardrobes, ranking as declared favourite among everyone taking loungewear seriously. The fabric quality matches like ordered: brushed sweat at 245 gsm, fluffily soft inside — homewear trousers plus cuddle jumpers made of it feel like time off. Cushion covers plus reading-corner blankets succeed of this bolt too. Combine lavender alongside white plus light grey toward spa looks; sage green beside it yields the currently beloved pastel nature palette. Craving strong accents? Reach toward aubergine.

Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen. Angerauter Sweat läuft stärker ein als Jersey
- Stretch- oder Jerseynadel in Stärke 80 bis 90, der Stoff ist dicker als Jersey.
- Overlock oder elastischer Stich. Die angeraute Innenseite fusselt an den Kanten, Schnittkanten deshalb versäubern.
- Bei mehreren Lagen, etwa an Kapuze und Taschen, Nähfußdruck verringern oder Obertransportfuß nutzen, damit nichts verschiebt.
- Säume und Abschlüsse mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode statt mit Umschlag, das trägt weniger auf.
- Links bügeln, niedrige Temperatur, die angeraute Seite nicht direkt bügeln.
- Fadenlauf beachten: die Dehnung läuft quer, für Hoodies und Hosen um den Körper legen.

Frequently asked questions
How stretchy is this fabric containing 5 % elastane?
The elastane content gives this sweat a pleasant crosswise stretch without bagging out. Cuffs, hoods plus sleeves keep their shape, so finished garments stay comfortable through many washes — especially important in trousers or children's clothing.
Is this fabric tested regarding harmful substances?
Yes, this sweat is certified according to Oeko-Tex, meaning it has been tested regarding harmful substances. Especially in children's clothing, or anything worn directly against skin, that certification feels reassuring while sewing as well as gifting.
What should I keep in mind when washing?
Wash this sweat at 30 degrees inside out in a gentle cycle, without bleach, skipping the tumble dryer. Pre-wash before cutting: brushed sweat shrinks more than jersey, so allow up to 5 % shrinkage in your fabric calculation.
How economical is the 155 cm fabric width?
At 155 cm this sweat runs wider than many cotton fabrics. Larger pattern pieces such as backs, fronts or hoods fit side by side, lowering fabric consumption per garment, so even adult sizes can be cut economically.
