Coupon 70 cm Bio Wolljersey/Wollinterlock Cino Zuckerstange mit Herzen (Merino, kbt, mulesingfrei)

Our organic wool jersey fabric (kbt, made from 100% new wool, merino) is produced according to the highest ecological criteria. It is therefore particularly suitable for the sensitive skin of babies and toddlers, as well as for all clothing that is worn close to the skin. Outerwear is also given something very special by the delicate shimmer of the wool fabric, so that the fabric is also ideal for adult clothing.

Wool is naturally self-cleaning and antibacterial. It absorbs moisture without feeling clammy and transports it outwards, away from the body. Merino new wool is very finely crimped, does not scratch and is wonderfully soft and fluffy.

Since wool clothing only rarely needs to be washed - brushing or airing it out is usually enough - the clothing is also very easy to care for.

However, as with all fabrics, we recommend a pre-wash, as the fabric can shrink by 10-15% depending on the washing method .

Very important - wool is a natural product and also one that can be slightly different with every shearing and every flock of sheep. Each fabric can be slightly different in feel than the fabrics before it. When spinning, a completely even thread is not possible, so that there are always thinner and thicker places in the fabric, which are caused by different thread thicknesses (especially if there are always thick or coincidentally always exactly thin places in two/three rows in a row). threads appear).

Especially with the Cino we have the phenomenon that two different colors are knitted together and then every now and then a stitch of one color is in the place where the other color would have been purely symmetrical. If something like this occurs very frequently on a piece of fabric and from both sides, it can actually look annoying, so we sort out such pieces as B-goods. If it is only on one side or only a few stitches per square meter, it is either not noticeable or the other side can be used without any problems (Cinos are interlocks, so that right and left sides do not differ). Please note this before ordering, as it is not a reason for complaint.

We have a photo (the one with the ruler) in the gallery where you can see such a spot. Please note - the image is not colourfast.

It is optimal if the woolen clothing is simply aired out in damp weather (e.g. in the bathroom when showering). The water vapor that meets the fabric then automatically transports away smaller dirt particles and bad odours.

If the clothes are heavily soiled, they can be washed by hand or on the wool cycle of the washing machine at 30 degrees with wool detergent. In winter, we recommend washing on a cold wool cycle, otherwise the difference between 30 degrees and cold rinsing water in the washing machine may be too great. Wool does not like strong temperature fluctuations.

As wool fibers are more sensitive when wet than when dry, it is recommended that wool jersey and wool silk be dried flat on a towel.

A lot of dirt can also be removed by tapping or brushing (e.g. with the miracle brush available in the shop).

Wool jersey can be sewn on the overlock as well as on the conventional sewing machine. It is important to use a stretchable stitch (e.g. zigzag stitch, pseudo-overlock stitch, etc.) and super stretch needles. The needles are specially made for very stretchy fabrics and ensure that the threads are not severed when sewing, but pushed to the side. This way there are no holes in the sewing machine in the long run. It may be helpful to lower the presser foot pressure on the sewing machine, or if this is not possible, use a walking foot. This prevents “wavy formation” when sewing.

As with other knitted fabrics, it is advisable not to start sewing at the very edge of the fabric, as this can sometimes "eat" into the machine. Here you can start sewing 2-3cm from the edge and sew up the beginning after a few stitches using the reverse button. Holding onto the protruding threads and gently pulling them backwards also makes it easier to start.

Wool silk fabric is stretchier than most comparable cotton jersey. Here it can make sense to sew one size smaller than normal and to stay with the usual dress size in length. As every pattern and build is different, it is highly recommended to place well-fitting garments on top of the appropriate pattern to provide a match.
