LIGHTWEIGHT COTTON BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - VIVID PINK - 280 GSM

COTTON-POLYESTER BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - VIVID PINK

This vivid pink sweatshirt fleece has a substantial, soft hand and a smooth surface. The matte appearance keeps the saturated pink clearly visible, while the reverse is brushed and fluffy. It drapes softly and maintains its shape, giving only slightly when stretched by hand.

A soft reverse and knit construction

The blend contains 90% cotton and 10% polyester and weighs 280 GSM. The sweatshirt fleece is compact and fully opaque. Its brushed reverse is very soft, delicate, and pleasant against the skin. The nap gives it a fluffy appearance. The fabric is warm, so consider additional layers when planning the style. Its substantial body will also be noticeable when an edge is folded.

Saturated pink on the matte face

The color can be paired with navy, charcoal, or white. When pink covers a large area, compare samples in the planned proportions. The smooth sweatshirt surface highlights the uniform color, while ribbed trim introduces a different texture. Thread in a similar tone produces more understated stitching. A contrasting seam can be assessed on a small section before being used across the entire piece.

Fabric stretch, cutting, and preparation for sewing

The knit holds its shape well and drapes softly. It has slight stretch, which should be tested on a sample before selecting a pattern. Its limited stretch should suit the ease provided in the design. The fabric is suitable for sweatshirts, pants, children's clothing, and bathrobes, among other items, and is intended for year-round use. Where it touches the skin, the softness of finished edges also matters. The way the fabric stretches should also be considered during cutting and preparation of finishes. With a width of 175 cm, arrange patterns on knit resting freely, allowing for seams and hems. Support the fabric extending beyond the table to preserve natural dimensions. With a substantial fabric, prepare a sample where several layers meet. This lets you assess edge thickness, stitch selection, and the behavior of the join. Examine the underside of the seam too, where the soft nap remains. The smooth outer appearance can be used in solid-colored projects. For finishes, choose the hem width after examining a test fold, especially where a thicker edge will touch the skin or cross several seams.

Care and durability

The sweatshirt fleece has a silicone finish. It withstands frequent washing and retains its color and shape afterward. Its shrinkage is low, and its tendency to wrinkle is slight. Resistance to pilling, abrasion, stretching out, and distortion is useful during regular wear.
