Berry is the colour of late autumn: rich like ripe blackberries, carrying precisely that balance of red plus violet flattering many complexions. Women's hoodies plus sweat dresses in berry warm twice — once through fabric, once through colour. The brushed sweat delivers its share: 245 gsm, a softly raised inside, pleasant crosswise stretch toward comfortable cuts. Mottled grey is this shade's favourite partner; cream plus dusky pink turn looks feminine, dark blue grounds them. Regarding bobble hats: sewn in berry, they get worn guaranteed.
What Eike Beere is suitable for
- 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
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.
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.
