This green hits the middle between meadow plus forest: rich, lively, never tipping into garishness. It could have been made toward forest-kindergarten kids — close to nature, yet clearly visible between trees. The brushed sweat handles wet autumn days at 245 gsm through its fluffy inside; the smooth outside gratefully takes animal motifs plus plots. Combine green 603 alongside brown plus beige toward forest looks, next to natural white toward freshness, or against golden yellow whenever cheerfulness rules. Highly popular too as ribbing partner beside green-tinged patterned jerseys.
What Eike Grün is suitable for
- Sweat jackets
- Hoodies
- Joggers
- Warm children's clothing
Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen. Angerauter Sweat läuft stärker ein als Jersey
- Stretch- oder Jerseynadel in Stärke 80 bis 90, der Stoff ist dicker als Jersey.
- Overlock oder elastischer Stich. Die angeraute Innenseite fusselt an den Kanten, Schnittkanten deshalb versäubern.
- Bei mehreren Lagen, etwa an Kapuze und Taschen, Nähfußdruck verringern oder Obertransportfuß nutzen, damit nichts verschiebt.
- Säume und Abschlüsse mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode statt mit Umschlag, das trägt weniger auf.
- Links bügeln, niedrige Temperatur, die angeraute Seite nicht direkt bügeln.
- Fadenlauf beachten: die Dehnung läuft quer, für Hoodies und Hosen um den Körper legen.

Frequently asked questions
Is this fabric tested regarding harmful substances?
Yes, this sweat is certified according to Oeko-Tex, meaning it has been tested regarding harmful substances. Especially in children's clothing, or anything worn directly against skin, that certification feels reassuring while sewing as well as gifting.
How economical is the 155 cm fabric width?
At 155 cm this sweat runs wider than many cotton fabrics. Larger pattern pieces such as backs, fronts or hoods fit side by side, lowering fabric consumption per garment, so even adult sizes can be cut economically.
What should I keep in mind when washing?
Wash this sweat at 30 degrees inside out in a gentle cycle, without bleach, skipping the tumble dryer. Pre-wash before cutting: brushed sweat shrinks more than jersey, so allow up to 5 % shrinkage in your fabric calculation.
Which fabrics match this colour exactly?
Eike is colour-matched to Vanessa, Maike plus Heike by Swafing: identical colour code, identical shade. Shirt, jacket plus cuff ribbing can be combined without any colour deviation — practical whenever an outfit is built of several fabrics.
