Introduction:
Ashes is suitable for a wide range of seriously smart or smart/casual clothing, depending on the patterns and styles you choose to create, and it has a designer pedigree. Perfect for cross-seasonal wear, after all, wool is naturally temperature-regulating!
Colour:
A subtle melange of lightly brushed black and white yarns sit together in this closely woven wool flannel, boasting a stepped design that takes its name from the micro-toothed skin of a shark. The combination of fine black and natural white yarns produces a fine salt and pepper/ash hue.
Properties:
The clever sharkskin weave actually features a staggered twill weave. Featuring a stable medium-weight handle with a reassuringly cosy, heavy drape quality and a lightly brushed feel.

Whether you’re relaxing in a country hotel or out window shopping, this super-soft wool blend will keep you warm and stylish, without the itchiness or coarseness. We think this denim-hued beauty is perfect for creating smart/casual pieces you can dress up or down.
