Colour:
A seriously smart and warming palette of yarns forms this wool Boating Club Stripe. A base of dark cherry red is complemented by contrasting quad stripes of white, with alternating royal blue pinstripes in between. The opulent palette exudes a rich, fruity warmth, reminiscent of mulled wine or rum punch enjoyed after a frosty winter stroll. Black weft yarns emphasise the subtle twill weave, enhancing the timeless style of this elegant wool tweed.
Properties:
Texture: These medium-weight, closely woven wool fabrics feature a traditional, lightly brushed, and fibrous cosy wool texture, offering the classic resilience and durability expected from a high wool content. Naturally shower-resistant and temperature-regulating, they trap a layer of warm air to keep you comfortable while allowing airflow for natural breathability.
Handle: These heritage-woven fabrics have a stable, well-balanced handle thanks to their densely constructed weave. A natural bias ease adds versatility, particularly useful when steaming, pressing, or shaping the fabric during tailoring.
Drape: Classic wool tweed falls with an elegant, weighty drape when used in lengths over one metre, perfect for forming graceful flared silhouettes, peplums, gored skirts, and godet styles.
Garment Suggestions:
Classic wool tweeds are perfect for creating a wide range of wearable garments, easily adaptable from semi-formal pieces to practical yet stylish utility wear, as well as unique bespoke creations that blend heritage charm with modern living.

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!
