Reed green is a green that never shouts: muted, slightly grey-tinged, therefore visible everywhere across Scandinavian-influenced fashion. The shade suits natural white, sand, dusky pink plus brown while always looking calm. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, suiting children's clothing as readily as adult jumpers. Muted greens carry a practical advantage over strong colours: staying quietly fashionable across years, still matching a wardrobe long after a garment has been passed along. Pre-wash before cutting, so the finished garment still fits correctly after its first wash.

Frequently asked questions
Which needle plus 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.
Is this fabric tested regarding harmful substances?
Yes, this French terry is certified according to Oeko-Tex, meaning it has been tested regarding harmful substances. Especially in children's clothing, or anything worn against skin, that certification feels reassuring while sewing as well as gifting.
How economical is the 150 cm fabric width?
At 150 cm this fabric runs wider than many cottons. Larger pattern pieces such as backs, fronts or hoods fit side by side, lowering consumption per garment, so even adult sizes can be cut economically.
How heavy is this fabric at 245 gsm?
At 245 gsm this French terry sits in the middle: opaque enough for dresses or trousers, yet distinctly lighter than a winter sweat. It drapes softly while holding shape, suiting almost every sweat pattern.
