Grass Green 365 is a clear, fresh green with a yellow undertone – the colour of new spring leaves. On the matt jersey surface it reads full and saturated rather than loud, which keeps it wearable for grown-ups and children alike.
At 220 gsm Vanessa sits in the medium-weight range: firm enough for the fabric to lie calmly and stay opaque, yet soft and easy against the skin. The 5% elastane gives noticeable crosswise stretch with good recovery, so cuffs and necklines keep their shape. The drape is soft and gently flowing without clinging.
The face is smooth and fine-knit, the reverse shows the typical purl side. Machine washable at 30 °C and certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
What Vanessa Grasgrün is suitable for
- Tops and long-sleeve shirts, as the 5% elastane gives crosswise stretch that springs back into shape.
- Dresses and skirts, since 220 gsm provides enough substance for an opaque, settled drape.
- Kidswear and bodysuits, because the soft cotton knit feels kind on the skin and is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
- Leggings, as the 155 cm width lets you cut longer pieces comfortably from one length.
Sewing tips

Frequently asked questions
Is the grass green jersey opaque?
At 220 gsm Vanessa is a medium-weight jersey and, in this strong colour, opaque enough for dresses, skirts and leggings. Only heavily stretched areas may look slightly lighter on the body.
How much does the fabric shrink in the first wash?
Residual shrinkage is 5%. Wash the fabric at 30 °C before cutting and allow for the extra length, so your finished garment still fits after the first laundry cycle.
How should I care for this jersey?
Wash at 30 °C and iron on a low setting. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry – this keeps the colour and the elasticity of the knit intact over many washes.
How stretchy is the fabric?
With 5% elastane the jersey stretches noticeably across the grain and recovers well. That makes it straightforward to sew necklines, sleeve hems and closer-fitting patterns without distortion.
