DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmkeeper
Belonging to the Brushed cotton group, Warmkeeper is an extra-thick, internally brushed knitted fabric that combines the natural comfort of cotton with polyester-reinforced durability and elastic stretch. The soft inner surface and heat-retaining capacity characteristic of the category appear in this material at an outstanding level, making it an ideal choice for apparel and comfort products designed for cold weather conditions.
Composition and structural design
Warmkeeper is a textile made from 40% cotton, 56% polyester and 4% elastane (spandex). Cotton provides the pleasant feel and skin-friendly sensation, while polyester increases the material's durability and helps with heat retention. Elastane makes the fabric more elastic, so it follows body movement well.
As is characteristic of the Brushed cotton category, the inner side of the material contains a densely brushed layer formed with longer fibres, capable of trapping air. This structure contributes significantly to thermal insulation. The 400 g/m² weight and 165 cm width result in a particularly substantial, warm textile.
Material properties and behaviour
One of the most important properties of Warmkeeper is its excellent thermal insulation capacity. The brushed inner layer effectively retains body heat, while the outer surface remains structured and resistant. Thanks to this, the material is suitable even for extreme cold conditions.
The elastic structure provides comfortable wear, so finished garments do not restrict movement. Due to the cotton content, the material has a pleasant touch, while the polyester contributes to abrasion resistance and a longer lifespan. Despite its thickness, it is easy to handle and sew.
Applications
Warmkeeper is an ideal choice for any application where warmth and comfort are the primary considerations. For adult apparel, it can be used for making extra-warm hooded jumpers, winter trousers, cardigans and waistcoats. If you need a more elastic, thinner base material for the same set, stretch brushed is the right choice.
For baby and children's clothing, it can be applied as a base material for winter overalls, trousers, coats and hats, where thermal insulation is especially important. For sports and outdoor use, it is suitable for making base layers and technical tops, for example for hiking or cold-weather activities. The cuffs and the ankle parts of the overalls are usually finished with ribbing fabric.
For home use, it is also a suitable choice for making warm leisurewear and blankets, where both softness and heat retention are important.
