EXTRA HEAVY COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC - WHITE - 580 GSM

EXTRA HEAVY COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC - WHITE

This white sweatshirt knit has a dense, substantial construction and a very substantial hand. Its smooth surface is matte and opaque. The inside shows loops on the sweatshirt knit's wrong side. The fabric remains soft and gentle on the skin, while a larger section drapes gently and retains its shape.

Softness and knit construction

The loops on the wrong side differ in texture from the smooth outer surface. With an exposed turnback, both appearances will be visible together. The knit is pleasant and gentle on the skin. It holds its shape well and drapes softly. It is nonstretch, so fitting ease must be planned into the pattern. Check circumferences and opening sizes, also allowing for the space taken up by thick layers. Alongside softness and texture, pay attention to the knit's construction and weight. The weight is 580 GSM. The composition is 100% cotton. The sweatshirt knit is thick, compact, and fully opaque. Its substantial hand is noticeable even in a single layer. Combining several pieces increases thickness, so test hems on a sample. Re-creating a seam intersection is particularly useful, as it shows the actual bulk of the entire edge.

Matte white and trim proportions

White can be paired with light pastels or contrasted with black or navy blue. When combining several white fabrics, compare actual swatches in natural light. Smooth sweatshirt knit and ribbed trim have different textures, so view the full width of the planned finish. The fabric is intended for year-round use, including sweatshirts, pants, and children's clothing. For joins that touch the body, the finished seam's feel matters. A sample helps assess the edge's softness and thickness and adapt the joining method to the fabric's considerable substance.

Fabric behavior, cutting, and sewing preparation

Before choosing a pattern, assess how the swatch behaves and the ease required. The width is 160 cm. Lay out pattern pieces with allowances on the relaxed fabric, supporting any portion beyond the table. This test helps adapt the finish to the specific location. For multilayer edges, assess their arrangement on a sample beforehand to maintain a pleasant feel and a thickness suited to the intended use.

Care and durability

Enzyme and silicone finishes have been applied. The fabric stands up well to frequent washing and retains its color and shape afterward. Low shrinkage helps maintain dimensions, while a low tendency to wrinkle makes care easier. The knit resists pilling, abrasion, stretching out, and distortion. These qualities are useful in a fabric used regularly.
