COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC WITH ELASTANE - CACTUS GREEN - 280 GSM

COTTON SWEATSHIRT FABRIC WITH SPANDEX - CACTUS GREEN

This cactus green sweatshirt knit is soft and delicate to the touch, with a resilient hand. It has a dense, compact structure of medium thickness. The smooth, matte surface provides full opacity. The fabric falls fluidly, drapes well, and retains shape and stability.

French terry that feels pleasant against the skin

The blend contains 97% cotton and 3% spandex. The weight is 280 GSM. The sweatshirt knit's looped reverse can be viewed beside the right side on a turnback sample. Their different textures remain visible even in a solid color. Also assess softness after folding several layers. Include seam allowances in a hem to check the entire edge's thickness and feel on the inside.

Stretch and fluid folds

The knit stretches and recovers its original shape well. Compare the style's requirements with the swatch's actual stretch before deciding on the ease needed. The soft fall is most visible on a larger section arranged in a loose fold. The fabric remains stable. In a test join, assess how the trim and stitch stretch with the knit. After release, check the edge's appearance and feel where seam allowances overlap.

Cactus green in understated combinations

This shade can be paired with cream, beige, or dark brown. For a green trim, compare swatches in natural light and assess differences in tone and texture. The ribbing will differ from the smooth matte surface. The fabric suits year-round blouses, pants, bathrobes, hats, and children's clothing. In soft styles, check the hemline; at fitted edges, check the entire finish's stretch. Maintain the delicate hand in seams touching the skin as well.

Testing the finish on a sample

The knit is 170 cm wide. Before joining large pieces, make a section of the finish using the selected threads and trim. Assess the join's appearance and its feel on the inside. During cutting, the section should lie evenly and loosely, including on the support beyond the table. When arranging pattern pieces, account for allowances and how the edges will fold, particularly on smaller components. If a second fabric is used at the edge, compare its feel and folded thickness with the sweatshirt knit folded in the same way.

Appearance after washing and durability in use

A silicone finish is a feature of this sweatshirt knit. The fabric resists frequent washing and retains its color and shape afterward. It has low shrinkage and a low tendency to wrinkle. It resists pilling and abrasion, as well as stretching out and distortion. These qualities can inform the choice of knit for regularly worn garments.
