FRENCH TERRY

We like to keep things simple with our fabric names, french terry is a looped back jersey fabric. You may also have noticed brushed back french terry while browsing fabrics online.

To keep things simple we call brushed back Jersey sweat in our online store. If a fabric is called french terry it will be looped back if it doesn’t state otherwise. Sweat will be a brushed back with a short pile fuzzy fleecy reverse. 

loop backed french terry is a jersey fabric with loops on the reverse, it’s got some stretch, generally it’s a 4 way stretch but it is more structured than jersey fabrics such as cotton, viscose, modal & bamboo jersey.
French terry comes in various weights and it is always advised to check the description to see the weight for an idea of how heavy or light your fabric will be.

most of our jersey and sweat is around 250gsm, however we do stock lighter and heavier.
As most prints tend to be around 250gsm our plain french terry and sweat fabric is stocked in this weight for a good selection of shades to colour block.

Brushed back sweat is not to be confused with sweatshirt or winter sweat, these fabrics typically have less stretch and are typically heavier in weight. We recommend alpine fleece if you are looking for a heavier fleeced backed jersey fabric, this can be found in our store also.

French terry and brushed back sweat are generally made up of cotton and elastane which makes them breathable and a great option for everyone including young children and babies, different designs like marl may contain some polyester, see the listing for full details. 

Most of our fabrics are oeko tex certified with some also holding the GOTS organic certification, please see product descriptions.

suitable for projects such as tops, joggers, dungarees, hoodies, dresses, hats, soft furnishings & crafts etc

These fabrics are great all year round. They make perfect summer weight hoodies or jackets or more structured dungarees etc. They are also a great base layer option for the colder months.
