This forms the background, along with a snazzy over check that has a crinkle detail akin to seersucker. This textural detail has eye catching pink and gold lurex yarns which twinkle like precious gems .Super soft lambswool gives this winter stunner its beautiful soft, textured feel and reassuringly warm drape, with a medium weight handle and a gentle bias stretch too.
Try teaming Inca Temple Check with matching pink and lilac tones for a striking and complimentary combination. Sewing room projects that you can get your teeth into with this fine fabric are endless – some ideas might include a neat pencil skirt and matching jacket, a smart dress or cute pinafore (big girls or little girls), tunics, or a lovely, long line drapey waistcoat.
This lightly brushed wool fabric has a cosy feel you will want to disappear into the folds of, so choosing drapey wrap style cover ups, capes, and drape and tuck style dresses and skirts will give maximum benefit of this snug beauty.
Benefits of sewing with Wool! 🐑
We love wonderful wool! Why? Because it looks beautiful, well yes but did you know wool has a series of superpowers that make it the most incredible natural fibre, suitable for more garment suggestions and sewing inspiration than possibly any other?
Wool has a unique naturally crimped 3D structure which attributes to some brilliant properties & makes it a great fabric to wear throughout all the seasons.
Naturally Breathable: This amazing 3D crimped structure promotes air circulation allowing air to pass through the fabric, allowing for circulation and ventilation for your skin to breathe, keeping you cool.
Shower Resistant: Sheep naturally produce a waxy substance called lanolin. As sheep live outdoors, this naturally occurring wax helps to protect sheep from the elements, naturally shedding water & keeping them dry. This same property is retained within the wool fibres when spun into yarn.
Moisture Absorbing: The moisture-retentive superpowers of wool! It’s hydrophilic core gives wool the ability to wick away moisture keeping you dry and comfortable – this possibly one of our favourite properties because you can stay fresh when wearing wool, from autumn right through to spring!
