LIGHTWEIGHT COTTON BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - DARK TEAL - 280 GSM

COTTON-POLYESTER BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - DARK TEAL

This dark teal sweatshirt fleece is very soft, with a fluffy, napped reverse. The smooth right side has a matte appearance. The fabric maintains its shape and stability while draping gently across a larger section. The dark teal shade can highlight an uninterrupted surface or be paired with a lighter finish at the edge.

A soft reverse and knit construction

The brushed reverse is very soft and pleasant against the skin. The fabric is warm and suitable for year-round projects, depending on the style and additional layers. It can be used for sweatshirts, sweatpants, children's clothing, and bathrobes. Where it touches the body, assess how the seam feels as well. The fluffy inner surface remains an important quality of this knit. Alongside softness, the knit construction itself is worth considering. The fabric weighs 280 GSM and contains 90% cotton and 10% polyester. It is compact and has a noticeably substantial hand. It provides full opacity. At hems, check the thickness of several folded layers, especially where seams cross. A sample of that area lets you assess how the edge lies and choose a suitable stitching method. The sweatshirt fleece drapes softly and holds its shape well.

Smooth color and a fluffy inner side

The dark teal shade can be paired with cream, beige, and gray. Navy maintains a darker color scheme. When choosing ribbing, view samples side by side, allowing for the difference between ribs and smooth sweatshirt fabric. A soft nap covers the reverse. Examine this surface contrast at a folded edge as well, especially if the reverse will be visible in the finish.

Fabric stretch, cutting, and preparation for sewing

The sweatshirt fleece stretches only slightly. Before selecting a pattern, test a sample and check the planned ease. With a width of 175 cm, arrange patterns on fabric resting freely, supporting the section beyond the table. A test seam will show how the joined layers stretch and the thickness of the finish. Assess it flat and under gentle tension, according to the needs of the piece. The smooth outer side can be used in solid-colored projects. For multilayer joins, choose a stitch suited to their thickness beforehand so the entire finish lies as intended.

Care and durability

The knit has a silicone finish and resists abrasion, pilling, distortion, and stretching out. It withstands frequent washing well and retains its shape and color afterward. Low shrinkage helps maintain piece size, while a low tendency to wrinkle makes care easier.
