Lemon yellow is the loudest yellow here: clear, cool plus properly luminous. Around children's clothing that helps, since a yellow jumper is instantly findable across a playground — while children happily pick the colour themselves. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, so even a large surface in this colour never looks hard. Anyone preferring a smaller dose combines it beside grey or navy: lemon yellow then stays a cheerful accent without defining a whole garment.

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.
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.
