Modal sweat

Modal sweat is a particularly softly draping sweat tricot with a silky feel and good skin compatibility. Its flowing drape makes it suitable for cozy basics, lightweight sweaters, hoodies, dresses and children's clothing - wherever comfort and elegant drape are required.

What is modal sweat suitable for?

Thanks to its soft, smooth surface, modal sweat is ideal for feel-good items that are worn close to the body. It makes comfortable hoodies, cardigans, casual jogging pants and delicate dresses as well as cozy children's pieces. Panels with pattern prints also come into their own with this fabric because the motifs are clear and even.

Processing tips for hobby sewers

• Before cutting: To be on the safe side, pre-wash at 30 °C and dry flat, as slight shrinkage is possible.
• Sewing machine: Use a jersey needle or stretch needle (size 70-90), set stretch stitches or overlocker.
• Edges & necklines: Stabilize with stretch seam tape or a light, stretchy interfacing.
• Cutting: Use rotary cutter or sharp fabric scissors, pay attention to pattern repeat.

What makes modal sweat special?

Modal sweat combines the soft, silky feel of modal fibers with the textured, cozy feel of a sweatshirt fabric. The result is a slightly drapey, supple fabric with a high wearing quality that does not fluff and feels pleasant against the skin. For sewing enthusiasts, it offers a wide range of uses and is easy to work with.

Care instructions

Wash gently, use a mild detergent and avoid high heat. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry at a low temperature. Avoid strong spinning and bleach to preserve the color and fiber structure.
