Typical figures for an adult size M. The pattern tier is set from the real piece count when you order.

On a hoodie it skims the body without clinging, and gathers at a yoke or a cuff sit softly instead of standing up.

At this length a soft cloth moves gently at the hem and falls in loose folds.

It is neither warm nor cool, so it works across most of the year.

Wash it cold and inside out to keep the color.

It hardly creases, but a light jersey can twist after washing and bag at the knees and elbows.

Jersey is knitted, not woven: rows of interlocking loops that stretch in every direction. It is knitted in cotton, viscose, wool, silk and blends, often with elastane.

Jersey is knitted on circular machines almost everywhere; the yarn and the gauge decide its quality more than the place.

It is rarely lined; a second layer of the same jersey is used where a lining would be.

A ballpoint or stretch needle and a stretch stitch or an overlock; let the cloth relax for a day before cutting.

It takes dye evenly and prints well, though stretch can thin the color at knees and elbows.

Its surface is matte, so it photographs evenly under flat light.
