Colour:

Shades: A refined stone grey-beige marle base, overlaid with natural white and softly shadowed horizon-blue overchecks.

Design: A classic plaid design inspired by Highland cairns, where weathered mineral stones meet shifting light and distant skies.

Overall: Quietly powerful and deeply atmospheric, this palette feels both grand and contemplative. Cool blue and near-white lines draw the eye gently across the cloth, evoking serene stillness and timeless landscapes. This is understated luxury at its finest, crafted with the discipline of traditional wool masters and finished with a confident, quiet glow.

Properties:

Texture: This is a twill-woven, melton-style wool that has been lightly felted, giving it a dense, cohesive surface with a soft finish. The hand feels luxurious, substantial, and reassuringly warm.

Handle: Structured yet refined, this fabric offers excellent stability with minimal stretch, making it ideal for tailored applications and upholstery where longevity and form are essential.

Drape: Due to its weight and felted finish, the drape is controlled and elegant rather than fluid, lending itself beautifully to architectural silhouettes and refined interior pieces.

Garment Suggestions:

Types: This fabric is best suited to outerwear and heritage-inspired garments, including tailored coats, capes, structured jackets, waistcoats and dramatic winter skirts, pieces where shape, warmth and presence are essential.

Patterns: Consider patterns such as the Biker Jacket Cardi Pattern, the Brooklyn Coat, the Kyoto Vest, the Lyon Jacket, the Phoebe Coat, The Coat, The Blazer, the Yanaka Jacket, or the Verona Jacket.

Other Uses:

Accessories: Bags, protective covers for technical equipment, crafts, draught excluders, storage cubes, and so much more.

Furnishings: As a heavy wool twill suitable for furnishing, this cloth excels in interiors seeking quiet sophistication. It is ideal for statement upholstery, tailored armchairs, ottomans, bench seating, and refined cushions. It also works beautifully for structured curtains, pelmets, and decorative wall panels.

Upcycling: Put your scraps to use and create brooches, appliqués, or use as a base for needle felting projects.
