Overview:
Fellstream Melange is 100% wool, a medium to heavyweight felted melton in storm grey and deep blues, woven from superb all wool melange yarn inspired by the wild moors and the hill streams that meander through them. It suits classic outerwear and country-style furnishings.
If you love Fellstream Melange, you'll love its sisters: Limestone Beck Check and Heatherstone Melange.
Specifications:
Weight: Medium / Heavy
GSM: 372
Composition: 100% Wool
Width: 155cm / 61.0inch
Colour:
Overall: Cool, elemental and deep.
Shades: A fusion of elemental hues: storm grey through deep sea blue, teal tarn and millpond deep blue, all spun together within the melange yarn.
Design: Felted wool melton woven from all wool melange yarn, so the colour lives inside the spun fibre and reads as a soft optical blend rather than a pattern.
Properties:
Texture: The dense, no-snag surface of a properly felted wool, softly brushed with the original weave only faintly visible beneath.
Handle: Hard-wearing and dense, with the reassuring substance of a felted wool. Low fray, so raw edges can be a feature.
Drape: Weighty and structured, holding a clean line for outerwear and furnishing alike.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Outerwear: classic longline coats, capes, gilets and edge-to-edge jackets that make the most of the low-fray edge.
Patterns: Browse our Sewing Patterns for Heavy Wools & Coatings.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Bag making, caps, hats, neck warmers, mittens and wrist warmers.
Furnishings: Cushions, throws, blinds, seat pads and coordinating soft furnishings for a country scheme.
Upcycling: Appliqué, patchwork, doorstops, draught excluders and blankets. Wool of this quality reworks well.
