Natural white is the cosy white: creamy, warm, never sterile. Precisely the shade turning a hooded jumper into a feel-good piece, lending homewear sets that Scandinavian catalogue look. The brushed sweat plays its part at 245 gsm through a softly raised inside — cuddle blankets plus baby equipment in natural white remain classics fitting every nursery. The shade harmonises alongside beige, camel plus light grey; black creates modern contrast. Practical advice born of experience: wash inside out next to similar colours, keeping the light appearance fresh long-term.

- 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
How stretchy is this fabric containing 5 % elastane?
The elastane content gives this sweat a pleasant crosswise stretch without bagging out. Cuffs, hoods plus sleeves keep their shape, so finished garments stay comfortable through many washes — especially important in trousers or children's clothing.
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.
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.
