Drape: This fabric boasts a generous bias ease and has a reassuringly soft drape quality.
Garment Suggestions:

Other Uses:
Accessories: Perfect for creating gifts for those whom you are unsure of their colour preferences, make reversible scarves, hats or bags.
Furnishings: Create the easiest throws, hem, trim - whatever you choose and voila! the perfect gift. Also ideal for simple envelope-style cushions, wrap sew and add a couple of chunky buttons, and they are good to go.
Upcycling: Use every scrap of this luxurious fabric, make yourself hand warmers, or use them to patch up your favourite cashmere cardigan.
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.
