This French terry stretches but sits considerably firmer than jersey — it holds its shape at hood and pockets. The fabric comes 150 cm wide and brings 240 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 95 % cotton and 5 % elastane.
Green comes out strongest beside red; that is the complementary contrast, and it always works. For hoodies, sweat jackets and joggers this is the standard fabric — warm, stretchy and hard-wearing at once. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What French Terry Sk8 Schachbrettmuster Grün Kombi by Lycklig Design von Swafing is suitable for
- hoodies and hooded jackets
- dresses and tunics
- snoods and hats
Frequently asked questions
Which needle and which stitch?
A jersey needle with a ball point, one size up for several layers. Sew with a stretch stitch or an overlocker — a straight seam will not survive the stretch at cuffs and hood.
Which cuffing suits it?
Fine rib for sleeves and hem, coarse rib for sturdier jackets. Cuffing is cut shorter than the circumference and sewn on stretched, otherwise the finish stands away.
How do I press sweat?
From the reverse and at moderate heat. On the face an iron flattens the loops, and that spot stays visibly flatter than the rest of the surface.
What do I do with offcuts?
Sweat offcuts become pockets, hood linings, cuffing alternatives or appliqué. The goods do not fray, so even small pieces work without finishing. The edge does not fray, so even narrow strips work without finishing.
