Hay green is one of those colours hard to name yet constantly seen: somewhere between olive, sage plus dried grass. That very vagueness makes the shade so easy to combine. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, suiting children's clothing as readily as adult jumpers. As a base colour it suits natural white plus sand as readily as terracotta or mustard. Around clothing meant to feel natural plus calm it often beats a strong green. Colour-matched Heike ribbing finishes sleeves plus hems in exactly the same tone.

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.
What is French terry best used for?
French terry is the fabric of transitional seasons: jumpers, dresses, sweat jackets plus children's clothing, whenever jersey feels too thin yet winter sweat too warm. Smooth outside, soft loops inside, it drapes softly from spring into autumn.
How does French terry differ from brushed sweat?
Both are smooth outside; inside they differ: French terry shows fine loops, brushed sweat a raised, fluffy surface. French terry therefore feels lighter plus airier, while brushed sweat runs noticeably warmer, belonging rather to winter.
How stretchy is this fabric containing 5 % elastane?
A share of 5 % elastane gives this French terry a pleasant crosswise stretch without bagging out. Necklines, sleeves plus cuffs keep their shape, so finished garments stay comfortable through many washes.
