Anthracite melange is the shade known of classic college jumpers: dark grey carrying light speckles, sporty plus grown-up at once. Hardly any surface suits plots, embroidery plus sewn-on patches better — sportswear heritage is woven into this shade. As brushed sweat at 245 gsm featuring a warm inside, it serves of autumn walks through indoor winter jackets. The melange structure hides wear marks better than any solid, staying handsome across many washes. Alongside black plus white you get classic gym looks; beside bordeaux, retro appearances.
What Eike Anthrazit Melange is suitable for
- Sweat jackets
- Hoodies
- Joggers
- Warm children's clothing
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 does the melange look appear?
The melange look comes of finely blended fibres, giving the surface a lively, subtly speckled depth. Garments appear less flat than in plain solids, while small sewing irregularities barely show against the gently moving surface.
How does Eike differ from summer sweat?
Eike is smooth outside, softly brushed inside — noticeably warmer than summer sweat. At 245 gsm it carries real substance, which makes it the right choice through autumn plus winter, while summer sweat is a lighter fabric.
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 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.
