Description

Old mint is mint blended alongside some grey: calmer, dustier, therefore distinctly more grown-up than clear mint green. As ribbing the shade suits natural white, sand and dusky pink while never reading childish. The fabric runs approximately 100 cm wide, yielding every edge of a jumper from one short strip. Muted pastels have been in demand across children's fashion for years, combining effortlessly among themselves. Laying old mint beside dusky pink and natural white instantly creates a coherent family around several garments.

Frequently asked questions

How do I cut ribbing correctly?

Cut the strip crosswise to the selvedge, where the stretch runs, then fold it lengthwise along the crease. Rule of thumb: neckbands about two thirds to three quarters of the neckline, sleeve or hem bands slightly shorter than the circumference.

How much ribbing do I need?

Sleeve and hem ribbing on a jumper usually takes only a short piece, while hoodies including hood facings or pockets need more. We cut from 0.2 metres upwards, so you can order exactly what your pattern calls for.

Which fabrics match this colour exactly?

Heike is colour-matched to Vanessa, Maike and Eike by Swafing: identical colour code, identical shade. You can combine jersey, French terry or brushed sweat alongside matching ribbing, avoiding any colour deviation at the edges.

Is this ribbing tested regarding harmful substances?

Yes, the fabric is certified according to Oeko-Tex, meaning it has been tested regarding harmful substances. Ribbing sits right against skin at necks or wrists, so that certificate feels reassuring in baby clothes and children's garments.
