Beschreibung
Specifications:
Woven in Huddersfield, Yorkshire
Weight: Medium
GSM: 360
Composition: 100% Wool
Width: 145cm / 57.1inch
Martindale Rub Count (Upholstery): 20,000
Colour:
Gentle Nature boasts a closely packed warp of alternating light, mid and charcoal-marled grey yarns - these fine yarns set the base of this first-rate Yorkshire Tweed. Alternating heavier gauge yarns of Herdwick grey and Hazel brown are woven throughout the weft creating a subtle contrast to the grounding grey base and accentuating the differing textured yarns, presented akin to a basket weave meets obscured herringbone design.
The combined palette of natural, gentle hues encapsulates the rugged limestone walls, hazel hedges and wild winter pastureland of Herdwick sheep. A versatile palette easily teamed with other classic nature-hued tweeds or solid neutral hues. Perfect for the transition from autumn/winter into spring.
Properties:
Boasting a traditional wool tweed feel that is both stable and hard-wearing, this closely woven woollen wonder has a soft, lightly brushed feel and medium-heavy drapey handle that will make wonderful winter coats. Also, try fashioning capes, wraps, and coatigans. They are certain to brighten those dull autumn/winter days!
Garment Suggestions:
Wool Tweeds are always a firm favourite for country outerwear and will work beautifully for jackets, overcoats and pea coats. Alternatively, go for something less formal and try poncho, wrap and cape styles.
A matching waistcoat and skirt will become priceless additions to your wardrobe. Great to throw on with your favourite roll-neck top or Liberty shirt (or even a crisp, clean Italian poplin), with chunky tights and winter boots.
Complete the ensemble with your own bespoke, matching accessories! Hats, caps, ear warmers, scarves and bags are just a few ideas.
