Silken Russet boasts a firey russet orange hue with brown undertones. Seriously statement stylish and easily tempered with other natural brown/green colours and tones.
Properties:
This gorgeous Silken luxury faux fur fabric is so incredibly soft you would be forgiven for thinking it was created from alpaca or cashmere fibres. It is so sumptuously strokable that you won't believe it until you’ve felt it! A superfine acrylic knit at the base sports a waffle-like textured knit and supports the super silky 1-1.5cm fibres which are densely packed with a directional nap for the feel of true luxury.
This gorgeous fabric boasts a sumptuous, soft and heavy drape quality with a retentive width-wise stretch.
Garment and Other Uses:
Lined coatigan style jackets, coats, bombers, capes. ponchos etc.
If you can't pull off a full fur coat then why not make cute gilets stoles, tippets and wraps which can be worn with your existing garments to add an accent of fur? Silken Russet is perfect to use for stylish accessories too; try hats, and bags and use it to trim plain camel, cream, and brown.
Other Uses:
Luxury fur fabrics of this quality are excellent for making blankets, throws, cushions etc.
Sourced As Deadstock:
This fabric is from the Fabworks x Avoca collaboration for A/W 2024, that features a collection of deadstock luxury dressmaking fabrics & trimmings.
Delivered to Fabworks straight from the Avoca garment makers, this fabric has very limited stock availability and cannot be repeated once sold out. If you've spotted something you like, don't leave it too long before ordering!
Fabworks x Avoca
Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!
The working relationship between Fabworks and Avoca blossomed over the next few years and allowed Fabworks to develop its focus on high end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and away from the lower end of the textiles market.
Four years and several thousand metres of fabric later, Fabworks took a bigger step than ever before, and collaborated with Avoca to commission its own range of Irish-made pure wool fabrics which marked the launch of Fabworks Online, November 16th 2015. This was a defining moment for Fabworks, being the very first collection of fabrics that we commissioned ourselves. With a range of herringbones in iconic Avoca colour-rich palettes, this was Fabworks’ first taste of proper manufacturing in the 21st century.
