COTTON BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - DARK TEAL - 330 GSM

COTTON BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - DARK TEAL

This dark teal sweatshirt fleece has a smooth, matte outer side and a fluffy reverse. It is soft to the touch, with a distinctly substantial feel when folded. The compact knit holds its shape well. The dark teal shade can be used in solid-colored pieces that reveal both the shade and the way the surface drapes.

A soft reverse and knit construction

The fabric is made from 100% cotton and weighs 330 GSM. The sweatshirt fleece has a substantial hand, compact construction, and full opacity, and drapes softly while remaining stable. When hemming an edge, check its thickness when folded. A sample with several layers shows how the edge behaves at a seam and whether the chosen width suits the planned finish. Alongside softness, the knit construction itself is worth considering. The inner side is brushed and napped. Its very soft hand and gentle feel against the skin are useful in pieces worn directly against the body. The fabric is warm and intended for year-round use. Consider this quality together with the number of layers when planning a project. The sweatshirt fleece can be used for sweatpants, children's clothing, and bathrobes, among other items.

A deep color on the smooth side

Dark teal can be paired with cream, light gray, or navy. Brown accessories create a different combination of tones, while white provides clearer contrast. When choosing ribbing, view samples in the intended proportions. Matte sweatshirt fabric and ribbed trim will differ in texture even if their colors are similar. Assess the finish width with a strip placed against a larger section.

Fabric stretch, cutting, and preparation for sewing

The knit is very stretchy and maintains its shape well. A sample helps assess its stretch before selecting a pattern. Testing the seam is also important, since it should allow the necessary stretch. Assess the joined layers under tension and resting freely. At edges touching the skin, consider the feel of the underside of the finish. The way the fabric stretches should also be considered during cutting and preparation of finishes. The fabric is 175 cm wide. Lay it on the table so it retains its natural dimensions, and support the remaining length. Arrange patterns together with seam allowances and small pieces. Before the main sewing, reproduce the area with the most layers on a sample. This helps select a stitch and assess the edge's appearance after joining.

Care and durability

A silicone finish has been applied. The sweatshirt fleece resists abrasion, pilling, stretching out, and distortion. It withstands frequent washing well, retaining its color and shape afterward. Low shrinkage helps maintain piece size. A low tendency to wrinkle helps preserve the smooth outer side during everyday use.
