COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC - LAVENDER BLUE - 340 GSM

COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC - LAVENDER BLUE - 340 GSM

This cotton French terry in Lavender Blue has a smooth matte face and a soft, substantial hand. Characteristic loops are visible on the reverse. The fabric holds its shape well and falls gently when laid loosely. Lavender Blue works particularly well in calm, cool-toned combinations while allowing the texture and edges of the knit to remain visible.

Softness and fabric construction

The smooth outer surface contrasts with the loops visible on the reverse. If a turned-back detail exposes both sides, the two textures will sit next to each other, so it is useful to check the effect on a sample first. The French terry is stable and non-stretch, which means ease should be provided through the pattern itself. Check garment measurements and openings before cutting. The soft drape and shape retention can be assessed by lifting a larger section from the table. The fabric is made from 100% cotton and weighs 340 GSM. Its construction is thick and compact. Full opacity is useful on larger areas, while the softness remains noticeable even when the fabric is folded. Several layers should be checked before choosing the final hem, especially where seams meet. The material remains gentle and pleasant against the skin.

Lavender Blue with a matte finish

The color pairs well with ecru, light grey, and navy. A charcoal detail creates a stronger contrast, while muted violet or cool lilac gives a softer tonal transition. When selecting ribbing, compare the shade and texture of the samples in daylight. The French terry can be used year-round, for example in children's clothing, sweatwear, or bathrobes. Preserve the pleasant hand on the inside when finishing seams. A test join should include the same number of layers as the final construction so that the thickness, arrangement, and softness of the edge against the body can be assessed together.

Cutting and preparation for sewing

The fabric is 175 cm wide. During cutting, keep the material in its natural relaxed state and support any section extending beyond the table so that measurements remain accurate. Plan the pattern layout together with seam and hem allowances. Sew a test using the intended number of layers to assess their combined thickness and how they sit after joining.

Care and durability

The French terry has a silicone finish and is resistant to frequent washing. It retains its shape and color well after washing, and its shrinkage is low. The low tendency to wrinkle helps maintain a smooth appearance. The material is also resistant to pilling, abrasion, and deformation. Resistance to stretching out supports durability during regular wear.
