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

COTTON SWEATSHIRT FABRIC WITH SPANDEX - PETROL GREEN

This petrol green sweatshirt knit is smooth, matte, and soft. Its hand remains delicate and resilient. The dense, compact knit is medium in thickness and fully opaque. It drapes well, falls fluidly, and retains stability and shape.

Cotton in stretchy French terry

The fabric combines 97% cotton and 3% spandex, at a weight of 280 GSM. It feels pleasant against the skin. View the sweatshirt knit's looped interior beside the smooth outer side when planning a turnback. Folding several layers allows you to assess edge thickness. Include seam allowances in the test join to check the feel and arrangement where they meet.

A fluid fabric with recovery

The knit stretches and recovers its original shape well. Compare the swatch's actual stretch with the style's requirements before deciding on ease. Soft folds are best viewed on a larger section. The fabric retains its shape and stability. In a finished edge, the knit must work with the stitch and trim, so assess the entire join on a sample while stretching and after release.

Petrol green and selecting neighboring colors

Petrol green can be paired with cream, beige, or charcoal. For similar shades, compare swatches directly, since the color name alone cannot establish a match. The smooth sweatshirt knit and ribbing will have different textures. The fabric is suitable year-round for blouses, sweatpants, bathrobes, hats, and children's clothing. For finishes touching the skin, check the sewn edge's softness, particularly where seam allowances overlap.

Preparing the seam

Before choosing a pattern, assess the fabric's drape and the ease provided by the finished style's circumferences. Account for the 170 cm width when planning pieces and allowances. The sweatshirt knit should lie loosely on the table, with the remaining section supported. The smooth surface can be viewed on a solid-color piece, while the completed join's feel can be assessed on both sides. When attaching trim, check its folded feel and the closing seam's thickness, particularly where it touches the body directly. For an exposed wrong side, test the turnback width and how the loops lie at the seam itself.

Durability with regular washing

The fabric's finish is silicone. The knit resists abrasion, pilling, distortion, and stretching out. It stands up well to frequent washing and retains its shape and color afterward. It has low shrinkage and a low tendency to wrinkle. Shape retention is useful in everyday wear, both across wide areas and at the edges.
