Introduction:
This superior quality merino wool flannel has a super soft feel that’s lightly brushed that's almost fluffy and also boasts a super-smart crepe finish! Don’t be fooled by its lighter- medium weight either; this amazingly versatile fabric will keep you cosy and warm.
Colour:
The classic black background is accentuated with a hazy (barely there) pinstripe effect with natural white yarn, woven through the warp at 1cm intervals. The hazy quality of the pinstripe adds subtle detail to this otherwise plain fabric.
Properties:
The merino wool content of Midnight Linear means you have a fabric that is naturally temperature regulating, crease-resistant, soil-resistant, naturally antibacterial and therefore incredibly hard-wearing.

An easy monotone palette to accessorise with, this classic is ideal for waistcoats and jackets/blazers, neat pencil skirts and classic kick pleat skirts like the Amelia Skirt by The Pattern Stash.

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!
