Description
This French terry stretches but sits considerably firmer than jersey — it holds its shape at hood and pockets. At 145 cm wide its weight per square metre is 265 g/m². It is woven from 60 % cotton, 5 % elastane and 35 % modal.
Purple stands between the poles: beside blue it reads warmer, beside red cooler. 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 in Purple is suitable for
- children's clothes for autumn and winter
- snoods and hats
- blankets and cushions

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
