Emerald green works almost like jewellery: deep plus luminous at once, carrying a shimmer reminiscent of gemstones. A dress or jumper in this shade needs no further decoration to stand out. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, which shows the colour depth especially well in flowing patterns. Around festive winter projects emerald is the elegant alternative replacing red: seasonal enough across the holidays, colourful enough to be worn on through January. Because the range runs colour-matched across Vanessa, Maike, Eike plus Heike, a whole outfit can combine several fabric types.

Frequently asked questions
Can I apply vinyl prints or iron-on motifs?
Yes, prints belong on the smooth outside. Test on a scrap first, because the temperature must stay low. Across several layers at hoods or pockets, lower presser foot pressure or a walking foot keeps everything from shifting.
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 plus Heike by Swafing: identical colour code, identical shade. Shirt, jacket plus ribbing combine without any colour deviation — practical whenever an outfit uses several fabric types.
How should I finish hems plus 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.
