Shades: Crimson Vale features a full-bodied palette,  rich, warm, and layered with festive undertones, yet versatile enough for year-round use. Woven with a mélange yarn of deep red, threaded with subtle whispers of gold and blue fibres, alongside a solid Holly Red yarn. Together, these hues form a complex, radiant mélange, a red that shimmers between crimson, garnet, and berry depending on the light.
Crimson Vale evokes the warmth and richness of late-autumn light, the deep glow of ripened berries, the glint of gold on leaf and glass, and the quiet shadow of dusk-blue horizons.

Design: A classic twill weave, approaching the look of a cavalry twill, offering structure, texture, and timeless appeal.

Overall: A perfect balance between heritage character and contemporary elegance, Crimson Vale speaks of warmth, craftsmanship, and emotional depth.

Properties:

Texture: A classic, weighty and comforting wool feel, producing a slightly soft but stable fabric that is sure to stand the test of time and keep you warm in those cold months.

Handle: A super malleable and stable hand with structure in the length and width, and a gentle bias ease.

Drape: Together, these properties create a fabulous all-rounder fabric that boasts a drape you can trust to form voluminous details, crisp pleats, frills, flounces, and ruffles.
