Dark Blue 597 is a deep, calm blue with no green cast – a shade that works with almost everything and hides everyday marks well. As a plain fabric it shows neat seams and topstitching clearly.
The right side is smooth and even, while the reverse is softly brushed and feels warm against the skin. At 245 g/m² the fabric has body yet falls in soft folds rather than standing away stiffly, and at this weight it covers well. The 5 % elastane gives the knit crosswise stretch and recovery, so cuff areas and sleeves keep their shape. The 155 cm width leaves plenty of room for larger pattern pieces.
What Swafing Eike Sweat angeraut Uni Dunkelblau 597 is suitable for
- Jumpers and hoodies for children and adults, as the brushed reverse keeps you warm and 245 g/m² gives structure.
- Joggers and comfortable sweat dresses, since 5 % elastane provides stretch and good recovery.
- Light transitional jackets, because the 245 g/m² weight makes the fabric opaque and stable.
- Baby and toddler clothing or sensitive skin, as the fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

Frequently asked questions
Is the fabric fluffy on the inside?
Yes, the reverse is brushed, which makes it soft and warm, while the face stays smooth. That makes it a good choice for garments worn directly against the skin.
How stretchy is this sweat?
With 5 % elastane in the knit the fabric stretches mainly across the width and springs back into shape. It suits patterns that call for a stretch or jersey fabric.
Should I pre-wash it?
We recommend it: residual shrinkage is stated as 5 %. Wash the fabric at 30 °C before cutting so your finished garment keeps its measurements after the first wash.
How do I care for the fabric?
Machine wash at 30 °C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry and iron on a low setting. This keeps the brushed inside soft and the dark blue colour rich.
