Royal blue is the sporty blue: strong, clear, full of energy — no coincidence it serves as club colour across countless teams. A hoodie in this shade automatically feels dynamic, plus children love its saturated glow. The fabric base is proven brushed sweat: warm at 245 gsm, raised inside, stretching crosswise — ideal in training jackets that keep warming after sports. White plus red are classic partners toward sporty stripes plus colour-blocking; next to grey royal blue calms down nicely. Sewing toward the youth football club? This shade probably sits on your shelf already.
What Eike Royalblau 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
What is brushed sweat fabric best used for?
Brushed sweat is the classic choice when sewing hoodies, sweat jackets, joggers or warm children's clothing. The softly brushed inside keeps you noticeably warm, making Eike the go-to fabric in autumn or winter projects that should be comfy yet durable.
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.
Which needle plus stitch work best?
Sew using a stretch or jersey needle in size 80 to 90, since this fabric is thicker than jersey. An overlocker or elastic stitch keeps seams stretchy; neaten cut edges because the brushed inside tends to shed small fibres.
Which fabrics match this colour exactly?
Eike is colour-matched to Vanessa, Maike plus Heike by Swafing: identical colour code, identical shade. Shirt, jacket plus cuff ribbing can be combined without any colour deviation — practical whenever an outfit is built of several fabrics.
