FAQs

What is Belcoro yarn?

Belcoro yarn is a type of yarn that is processed to be softer and provide a cleaner surface for printing, contributing to the overall comfort and appearance of the garment.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for very young children?

Yes, this sweatshirt is designed for children aged 5-6 years and is made from a soft cotton blend, making it comfortable for everyday wear. Always ensure the correct size is chosen for a comfortable fit.

How do I care for the sweatshirt to maintain its shape?

To maintain the shape, machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. The cotton/lycra ribbing is designed for shape retention, but excessive heat can degrade the elasticity over time.

Can I put my own design on this sweatshirt?

Yes, this sweatshirt is designed with a clean printing surface, making it suitable for various customization methods like heat transfer, screen printing, or embroidery.

What material is the sweatshirt made of?

The sweatshirt is made from 80% cotton (using Belcoro yarn for softness) and 20% polyester.

Does it come in other colors or sizes?

This specific product is a black sweatshirt in size 5-6. Fruit of the Loom offers this raglan sleeve sweatshirt in various colors and sizes for children.

What does 'raglan sleeve' mean?

Raglan sleeves are characterized by a diagonal seam running from the underarm to the neckline, providing a classic fit and greater freedom of movement compared to set-in sleeves.

Troubleshooting

Garment shrinking excessively after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature (40°C) and avoid high heat drying. Use a medium iron setting and avoid ironing printed areas directly.

Print quality is poor after customization

Ensure the fabric surface is clean and dry before printing. Pre-test your chosen printing method on a small, inconspicuous area or a separate piece of fabric to confirm compatibility and settings.

Ribbing losing elasticity over time

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. Gentle washing and air-drying can help preserve the elasticity of the cotton/lycra blend in the ribbing.

Color fading

Wash dark colors separately, especially for the first few washes. Use a detergent suitable for colored fabrics and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
