COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC WITH ELASTANE - TURQUOISE - 280 GSM

COTTON SWEATSHIRT FABRIC WITH SPANDEX - TURQUOISE

This turquoise French terry is soft, resilient, and pleasant against the skin. It has medium thickness, a dense construction, and a compact structure. The smooth surface remains matte and opaque. The knit drapes well and falls fluidly while maintaining shape and stability.

The delicate hand of a dense knit

This is a blend of 97% cotton and 3% spandex, weighing 280 GSM. The loops on the sweatshirt knit's wrong side create an interior with a different texture from the smooth right side. View them side by side when planning a turnback. A folded edge also allows you to assess the fabric's softness in several layers. A sample with seam allowances shows their thickness and feel against the skin.

Stretch and shape retention

The fabric stretches and recovers its original shape well when released. Compare the swatch's stretch with the style's requirements before choosing a size. The fluid fall is best viewed on a larger section, including after forming a relaxed fold. The knit remains stable. A test seam with the intended trim allows you to assess the entire finish's stretch and the edge line after the fabric relaxes.

Turquoise alongside light and dark accents

Turquoise can be paired with white, cream, or navy blue. For a trim in a similar color, compare swatches, paying attention to tone and surface differences. The sweatshirt knit's matte surface and ribbing do not display color identically. Year-round uses include blouses, sweatpants, bathrobes, hats, and children's clothing. For soft styles, check how the hem lies; for fitted edges, check how they stretch during movement. The delicate feel should also be assessed on completed joins.

Checking how joined layers stretch

Use a swatch to check how the fabric stretches before fitting the pattern. At 170 cm wide, large pieces can be planned together with smaller components and allowances. Measure the section in a relaxed state, with support beyond the tabletop. When choosing a finish, test the area with the most layers on a sample to match the stitch to its thickness and assess the entire edge's arrangement after joining. At a ribbed edge, assess both fabrics together, particularly where the loop closes and while stretching it.

A smooth appearance and dimensional retention

The French terry has a silicone finish. It retains its color and shape well after washing, with low shrinkage. A low tendency to wrinkle makes a smooth appearance easier to maintain. The fabric resists frequent washing, abrasion, pilling, and distortion. Resistance to stretching out is useful when the knit stretches regularly.
