Beskrivelse
Overview:
Orchard Rosette is a Yorkshire woven, all wool herringbone tweed, inspired by spring orchard landscapes. The cherry red warp yarns run through every tweed in this collection, each alongside its own feature weft yarn, in this case a zingy lime green.
If you love Orchard Rosette, you'll love its sisters: Lakeshore Forage, inspired by Alpine lakes; Deep Stone Garnet, by mineral geology; Ember Autumn, by the warmth and abundance of autumn; and Forest Fruits. The shades complement each other perfectly and mix and match across the range.

Colour:
Overall: A wonderful marriage of orchard vitality. Zingy lime green weft yarns run across a rich cherry red warp, like the shine of a sweet toffee apple.
Shades: Our cherry red warp yarns represent the blush pigmentation on green apples, and green apple is also the colour of the lime green feature weft: a zingy, fresh apple green that speaks of botanical freshness and regeneration.
Design: Classic mid-sized herringbone tweed with contrast colours and marled undertones.
Properties:
Texture: A closely-woven woollen fabric with a traditional tweedy feel. Rustic yet refined, producing a slightly soft touch.
Handle: A super malleable and stable hand with structure in the length and width, and a generous bias ease, making for a versatile mediumweight cloth that will always do as it's told.
Drape: Together, these properties create a fabulous all-rounder fabric that boasts a reassuring drape you can trust to form pretty gathers, crisp pleats, frills, flounces, and ruffles.
Wool fabrics naturally regulate to the wearer's temperature and protect against the elements, taking you through autumn and winter and perfectly into spring.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Perfect for fashioning classic outerwear and hard-wearing separates. Start with simple and stylish pencil skirts, A-line skirts and waistcoats, then choose a complementary lining and you'll have garments that will soon become perennial favourites. Shift dresses and pinafore dresses are super comfy and make classic key pieces. When your sewing skills are more established, try classic jackets, coats and capes. For the daring and creative, add your own bespoke frayed tweed trim. Wool of this kind is easy to sew and will stand the test of time!
