Tides Out Plaid boasts a palette of complementary natural hues.

Rushing through the shallow tidal flats to rockpools, then returning to sun-baked sand castles and snuggling in a towel on a trusty tweed blanket.

Perfect for a plethora of sewing room projects, the Yorkshire Tweeds will always do as they are told. Wool of this kind is easy to sew and will stand the test of time.
