COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC - NAVY BLUE - 340 GSM

COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC - NAVY BLUE

This navy French terry is soft and distinctly substantial. The smooth, matte surface showcases the navy color, while loops are visible on the wrong side. The fabric drapes gently and retains its shape. Its substantial body can be appreciated in a large piece and at a folded edge.

Softness and knit construction

The composition is 100% cotton. The weight of 340 GSM corresponds here to a thick, compact construction and noticeable body. The French terry provides full opacity. It is gentle on the skin and pleasant to the touch. Examine the French terry's looped underside alongside the right side if it will be visible in a turnback. The difference in texture remains noticeable even when the entire fabric is one color.

Navy on a matte surface

Navy can be paired with white, light blue, and gray. Cream or beige will introduce a warmer tone, while a red detail creates strong contrast. When choosing thread and ribbing, compare samples in natural light. Smooth French terry and ribbing will display a similar color differently. The trim width can be assessed by placing a strip against the fabric. The knit is intended for year-round use, including sweats, children's clothing, and bathrobes. At areas that touch the body, the pleasant feel of inside finishes will also matter. A test join will allow the seam's thickness and arrangement to be checked before sewing the whole garment.

Fabric behavior, cutting, and sewing preparation

The knit holds its shape well and is nonstretch. Use a pattern with appropriate ease, accounting for circumference measurements and openings used when putting the garment on. For hems, check the thickness of several folded layers. A sample at a seam intersection will reveal the behavior of the entire edge. Soft drape is best assessed on a larger piece, while stability is useful when laying out pattern pieces on a flat surface. Also consider how the fabric behaves during wear when cutting and preparing finishes. The width of 175 cm provides room for planning large pieces and small finishes. During measuring, the French terry should rest freely on the table, with the remaining fabric supported. Prepare a sewing sample for areas where several layers overlap. Choose the hem width after examining this fold. The underside's softness can also be used in bathrobes and other designs where the inner surface directly contacts the skin.

Care and durability

The French terry has a silicone finish. It resists frequent washing and retains its shape and color afterward. Its shrinkage is low, and it has little tendency to wrinkle. The knit resists abrasion and pilling, as well as stretching out and distortion. These qualities help maintain the smooth outer side and the knit's shape during regular use.
