Denim melange sits in a classic blue-grey tone that fits into basic collections all year round. The melange adds depth to the colour and makes small variations in stitching less visible. This quality is often used for close-fitting styles such as tops, leggings and dresses, and also for baby and children’s wear where a rib with a little extra weight is desired.

The 2/1 construction creates clear ribs and a stable surface. The higher 300 g/m² weight means the rib has more body and coverage than lighter rib qualities. This is an advantage in garments that need to work as outer layers or as a more robust base in a collection. The question “what is 2/1 rib used for?” often comes up from buyers. In short, 2/1 rib is chosen when you want a pronounced structure, good crosswise elasticity and a rib that does not look lightweight.

Fabric shops typically bring denim melange in as a safe colour because it sells to many target groups and matches both neutral and bright colours. Producers use it as a standard colour when an even look from roll to roll and easy reordering are required.

Wash at 30 degrees, inside out. Avoid tumble drying to preserve shape and stretch.
