Specifications:
Weight: Medium / Heavy
GSM: 568
Composition: 100% Wool
Width: 154cm / 60.6inch
Colour:
Overall: A clear, watery cerulean teal: cool, jewel-deep and quietly luxurious.
Shades: A blue-green leaning decisively into watery cerulean teal, where clarity meets depth. Not a murky teal, nor a heavy green, it carries the open, lucid blue of cerulean, threaded through with the jewel richness of teal. Redolent of the cool waters of its namesake, it recalls clear, deep water where sunlight penetrates far below the surface and refracts into layers of blue and green. Team this deep water gem with other blue-green hues for a colour palette that sings of nature's iridescence.
Design: Twill woven, the twill barely visible beneath a lustrous sheen.
Properties:
Texture: Fibrous and brushed, yet not rough. Both sides have the felted surface, making them naturally water-repellent. Please note that the nap may be prone to pilling after frequent wear.
Handle: Malleable, cosy, dense but not stiff, with little fraying on the cut edges.
Drape: Cosy and reassuringly weighty.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Classic outerwear and hard-wearing separates: start with simple gilets, waistcoats or wrap skirts for a quick make, then move on to jackets, coats and capes, from classic pea coats and duffle coats to oversized statement coats. Shackets made up in this cloth team perfectly with country tweeds and staple denim. Historical costume makers and reenactors will find it ideal for period costume.
Patterns: Browse our Sewing Patterns for Heavy Wools & Coatings for coats and jackets, or our Sewing Patterns for Midweight Wools for waistcoats, skirts and pinafores, and our own Pattern Stash designs: try the Jemima Waistcoat and the Amelia Skirt for the perfect place to start.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Complete your outfits with matching accessories: hats, caps, neck warmers, mittens and wrist-warmers.
Furnishings: If clothes-making isn't your forte, this cloth is excellent for upholstery and soft furnishing projects such as rustic seat pads, boxed cushions and footstools. It is ideal for blankets and throws too.
Upcycling: Offcuts make an ideal base for 2D needle-felted projects such as bags, cushions and wall hangings, or personalise them with appliqué and team with your Yorkshire Tweed offcuts for a wonderful combination.
