This knitted woollen is produced with a fine mesh-like base with horizontal rows of cleverly spaced bobbles which form a cloud-like design in shades of rich grey blue, black and marl streaked natural yarn. A clever and quirky fabric that is ideal for creating cosy garments that you can lose yourself in on those cold and cloudy days.
The fine base of this wool knit (minimal polyester content for added strength and practicality), is knitted from a black and white superfine yarn which gives a smooth close knit base and reverse. The reverse of this fabric has an equally interesting design featuring alternating rectangles of stocking stitch with a mesh base fabric in between. When held to the light you can clearly see the difference in textures which is also quite appealing..
Perfect for creating jackets, jumpers, funnel necks and coatigans that you can pick up and throw on! Garments in Cloudy Skies - Bobble Knit will become your go-to autumn / winter favourites. Other great garment choices are kangaroo pocket pop-over tops (cosy sweatshirt styles), shawl collar cardigans, capes, wraps and ponchos, as well as snoods, hats, beanies (sock hats) and super cosy scarves.

For those who prefer to keep things neutral and simple this combination will add interest with the varied textures and designs without the use of strong colours. Perfect for natural themed home interiors with wooden floors or natural marble, slate and granite. Reassuring textures that will add warmth to an otherwise stark interior.

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!
