COTTON BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - LAVENDER BLUE - 330 GSM

COTTON BRUSHED SWEATSHIRT FLEECE FABRIC - LAVENDER BLUE - 330 GSM

This brushed cotton sweatshirt fabric in Lavender Blue has a soft, substantial hand and a delicate fluffy finish on the reverse. The face is smooth and matte. The fabric holds its shape while still draping softly over a larger area. Lavender Blue looks balanced on the plain matte surface and allows carefully chosen trims and finishing details to remain clearly visible.

A soft brushed reverse and a substantial construction

The reverse is very soft and pleasant against the skin. Its brushed surface gives the fabric a gentle touch that is especially noticeable in garments worn directly against the body. The fabric has a warm character, which is worth considering when planning the number of layers and deciding where the reverse side may remain exposed. The softness is also worth checking on a finished seam sample. Alongside the soft hand, the construction of the knit is important. At 330 GSM, the fabric has a noticeable weight. It is made from 100% cotton, has a substantial compact body, and provides full opacity. Several folded layers will feel considerably thicker, so a test hem is useful before choosing the final finish. On larger areas, the fabric combines soft drape with good shape retention.

Lavender Blue on a matte surface

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 choosing ribbing, compare both the shade and the surface texture of the samples. The smooth matte face remains clearly visible in a solid-color garment, and the proportions of trims are best assessed using strips cut to the intended width.

Stretch, cutting, and preparation for sewing

The sweatshirt fabric is very stretchy and stable. Checking the stretch of a sample helps with selecting the pattern and planning how the pieces will be joined. The seam should provide the amount of give needed in the relevant area. The material can be used for sweatwear, children's clothing, or bathrobes. It is suitable for year-round use, with its warmth and substantial body taken into account when choosing the style. Its behavior should also be considered during cutting and finishing. With a width of 175 cm, lay out the pattern on the fabric in a relaxed state and support any part extending beyond the table. For narrow pieces, keep in mind the direction in which they will need to stretch. Sew test samples using the same number of layers as the final join to assess both edge thickness and the feel on the inside.

Care and durability

The fabric has a silicone finish and is resistant to abrasion, pilling, and deformation. It withstands frequent washing well while retaining its color and shape. Low shrinkage helps preserve dimensions, while the low tendency to wrinkle makes care easier. Resistance to stretching out further supports the durability of the knit during regular use.
