Beskrivelse
Specifications:

Weight: Medium

GSM: 270

Composition: 100% Merino Wool

Width: 160cm / 62.9inch

Colour:

Olive Branch boasts a classic dark olive hue. This luxuriously soft, quality woollen fabric is a very pleasing natural tone with a very smart military or luxe country aesthetic. Rich natural tones are ideal for dressing up simple jeans and jumper outfits or teaming with red, white and navy for a certain designer style.

Properties:

Another luxury Irish fabric, closely woven, from the finest merino wool yarn, lightly felted then brushed. This medium-weight woollen fabric is hardwearing but seriously soft and malleable.

This fabric is stable width and lengthwise, with a reassuring drape quality too. This is so super soft you would think it has a touch of cashmere in it. A classic fabric for creating timeless outerwear and separates for the A/W seasons.

Garment Suggestions:

Use Olive Branch to make classic coats and capes, ladies' and men's Pea coats, blazers, (such as The Avid Seamstress' Blazer Pattern) capes and '80s / '90s style overcoats. There are a plethora of patterns aimed at confident beginners and intermediate sewists for you to choose from.

The Avid Seamstress - The Coat, Sew Different's Cocoon Coat are deal beginner's coat patterns. If you want a quick make take advantage of the low fray qualities of doeskin -felted type wools and create waterfall front coatigans with simple belt closures, these are easy to make and are excellent for layering.

Other Uses:

Create quality accessories to accompany your coats & blazers: hats, caps and scarves, neck warmers are ideal projects perfect for teaming with checked or plaids for extra interest.

Sourced As Deadstock:

This fabric is from the Fabworks x Avoca collaboration for A/W 2024, that features a collection of deadstock luxury dressmaking fabrics & trimmings.

Delivered to Fabworks straight from the Avoca garment makers, this fabric has very limited stock availability and cannot be repeated once sold out. If you've spotted something you like, don't leave it too long before ordering!

Avoca Deadstock Fabrics

Explore all Avoca surplus fabrics

Fabworks x Avoca

Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!

The working relationship between Fabworks and Avoca blossomed over the next few years and allowed Fabworks to develop its focus on high end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and away from the lower end of the textiles market.

Four years and several thousand metres of fabric later, Fabworks took a bigger step than ever before, and collaborated with Avoca to commission its own range of Irish-made pure wool fabrics which marked the launch of Fabworks Online, November 16th 2015. This was a defining moment for Fabworks, being the very first collection of fabrics that we commissioned ourselves. With a range of herringbones in iconic Avoca colour-rich palettes, this was Fabworks’ first taste of proper manufacturing in the 21st century.
