Denim blue as ribbing acts like a continuation of the jeans worn anyway: familiar, understated, matching nearly everything. Against striped fabrics and natural white it creates a clean, maritime look. Weighing 240 gsm, this fine rib holds edges reliably in shape without adding bulk. Anyone sewing often around children values this shade especially: it looks tidy, shows stains less than light colours, suiting colourful as well as calm outer fabrics — ribbing always useful.
What Heike Blau is suitable for

Frequently asked questions
Which needle and stitch work best?
Sew using a stretch or jersey needle in size 75 to 80, moving up to 90 across several layers at a hood or waistband. An overlocker or elastic stitch keeps the seam flexible, while a straight stitch snaps as the garment is pulled on.
How wide is this ribbing fabric?
The fabric measures approximately 100 cm across. Several ribbing strips fit side by side, which means even a short length covers sleeves, hem and neckline of one complete jumper without running short.
What does fine rib mean?
Fine rib describes the narrow, regular rib structure of the knit. It makes the fabric especially stretchy crosswise while creating that typical firm ribbing handle. Against coarse rib knits, fine rib looks neater, adding less bulk at necks or sleeves.
How firm is this ribbing at 240 gsm?
At 240 gsm the ribbing carries enough substance to hold edges permanently in shape, yet stays soft enough around necklines. It adds little bulk at sleeves, matching jersey and sweat fabrics nicely in weight.
