Aubergine is the darkest berry shade here: almost black-brown in shadow, letting violet shimmer through in daylight. As a jumper or dress the colour becomes the softer alternative replacing black, looking especially premium beside grey, camel and dusky pink. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, which shows the colour depth well. Dark colours carry a practical daily advantage: at sleeves or pockets, where garments soil fastest, aubergine stays presentable far longer. Because the range runs colour-matched across Vanessa, Maike, Eike and Heike, a whole outfit can combine several fabric types.
What Maike Aubergine is suitable for
- Jumpers and sweatshirts
- Sweat dresses
- Children's clothing

- bei mehreren Lagen Nähfußdruck runter oder Obertransportfuß
- Plots auf die glatte Außenseite, vorher am Reststück testen
- links bügeln bei niedriger Temperatur, nicht auf die Schlingenseite

Frequently asked questions
Which needle and stitch work best?
Sew using a stretch or jersey needle in size 80, moving up to 90 across several layers at a hood or waistband. An overlocker or elastic stitch keeps seams flexible; neaten the edges, since the loops inside otherwise fray.
What should I keep in mind when washing?
Wash at 30 degrees inside out on a gentle cycle, without bleach, skipping the tumble dryer, then iron inside out at low temperature. Pre-wash before cutting, because French terry shrinks more than jersey does.
Which fabrics match this colour exactly?
Maike is colour-matched to Vanessa, Eike and Heike by Swafing: identical colour code, identical shade. Shirt, jacket and ribbing combine without any colour deviation — practical whenever an outfit uses several fabric types.
How should I finish hems and sleeves?
The neatest finish uses Heike ribbing in the same colour code rather than a folded hem, since that adds less bulk at sleeves or hips. The shade matches exactly, because both ranges share one colour code.
