Overview:

If you love Cerulean Teal, you'll love its sisters: Peacock Blue, Petrol Blue, Noble Azure, Ceanothus Blue, Storm Cloud Navy, Tempest Grey and Baltic Blue, and the rest of this batch of fifteen solid-hued Meltons.
Specifications:
Weight: Medium / Heavy
GSM: 428
Composition: 100% Wool
Width: 156cm / 61.4inch
Colour:
Overall: A clear cerulean teal.
Shades: A saturated blue hue with all the tempting allure of teal. Cerulean Teal has the clear blue quality of cerulean, serene and calming, with the rich jewel depth of teal. Team this gem with other blue-green hues for a colour palette that sings of nature's iridescence.
Design: A solid-hued, plain Melton, woven and then milled to give its felt-like finish.
Properties:
Texture: Closely woven, felted and lightly brushed, with a traditional wool feel and a cosy finish. Both sides have the felted surface, making them naturally water-repellent. Please note that the nap may be prone to pilling after frequent wear.
Handle: Stable both width and lengthways with a firm handle, and little fraying on the cut edges - a fabric that will do as it's told.
Drape: Hangs reassuringly, with enough weight and body for structured outerwear; this fabric will keep the elements out.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Classic outerwear and hard-wearing separates: start with simple gilets, waistcoats or wrap skirts for a quick make, then move on to jackets, coats and capes, from classic pea coats and duffle coats to oversized statement coats. Shackets made up in this cloth team perfectly with country tweeds and staple denim. Historical costume makers and reenactors will find it ideal for period costume.
Patterns: Browse our Sewing Patterns for Heavy Wools & Coatings for coats and jackets, or our Sewing Patterns for Midweight Wools for waistcoats, skirts and pinafores, and our own Pattern Stash designs: try the Jemima Waistcoat and the Amelia Skirt for the perfect place to start.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Complete your outfits with matching accessories: hats, caps, neck warmers, mittens and wrist-warmers.
Furnishings: If clothes-making isn't your forte, this cloth is excellent for upholstery and soft furnishing projects such as rustic seat pads, boxed cushions and footstools. It is ideal for blankets and throws too.
Upcycling: Offcuts make an ideal base for 2D needle-felted projects such as bags, cushions and wall hangings, or personalise them with appliqué and team with your Yorkshire Tweed offcuts for a wonderful combination.
