COTTON BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - GRAY GREEN - 330 GSM

COTTON BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - GRAY GREEN

This gray green sweatshirt fleece has a muted color and a distinctly soft hand. Inside it is fluffy, with a delicate nap; outside it is smooth and matte. The fabric drapes softly while maintaining its shape. Gray green suits calm combinations where differences in tone and texture matter.

A soft reverse and knit construction

The brushed side of the sweatshirt fleece is very soft and pleasant against the skin. Its fluffiness can be appreciated through direct contact with the fabric. The knit is warm, so consider the number of additional layers when planning a project. It is intended for year-round use. Assess the soft inner side on a finish sample as well, especially in an area that will sit against the body. Alongside softness, the knit construction itself is worth considering. The fabric is made from 100% cotton and weighs 330 GSM. Its construction is compact, and its hand is distinctly substantial. The sweatshirt fleece provides full opacity. A larger section laid flat shows its stable drape, while folding the edge makes the thickness of the layers more noticeable. A test hem helps determine its width and assess where several seams meet.

A gray green shade in a matte finish

The color can be paired with ecru, gray, and beige. Dark brown or navy introduces a clearer contrast. When combining it with other muted colors, compare samples side by side in daylight. The smooth sweatshirt surface leaves the shade itself visible. Ribbed trim can introduce a change in texture, so assess its width at the edge as well.

Fabric stretch, cutting, and preparation for sewing

The knit holds its shape well and is very stretchy. Before matching it to a pattern, test a piece of fabric and check the required ease. A test seam should allow the layers to stretch as needed in that piece. The sweatshirt fleece is suitable for sweatshirt and sweatpant styles, children's clothing, and bathrobes, among other uses. The soft feel of finished joins also matters in these applications. The way the fabric stretches should also be considered during cutting and preparation of finishes. When cutting this 175 cm wide fabric, ensure that it rests naturally and support the section beyond the table, allowing its actual dimensions to be measured. Plan the pattern layout with seam and hem allowances. Make a sewing test with the intended number of layers to assess their thickness and how they lie after joining.

Care and durability

The sweatshirt fleece has a silicone finish and withstands frequent washing. It retains its shape and color afterward and has low shrinkage. A low tendency to wrinkle helps preserve a smooth appearance. The fabric also resists pilling, abrasion, and distortion. Resistance to stretching out is useful as the knit stretches regularly during wear.
