Rain Soaked Bracken Check - Yorkshire Tweed is a gorgeous all wool tweed. Manufactured in Huddersfield undergoing the same processes as our exclusive Heart of Huddersfield range. This fabric is not one of Fabworks' own exclusive designs.
Woven from superb blended yarns in rich earthy tones of nature. This traditional country wear tweed is the colour of rain soaked, dried bracken, its feathery fronds glistening in the rain. The characteristic multi tonal yarns of this range are showcased in the chevrons of the herringbone design and feature rich peaty brown and a complimentary marled grey. These are the organic country colours of nature and sit perfectly alongside the overcheck which has fine bands of blue, like hopeful glimpses of finer weather, further complimented by a rust-toned red, the colour of Rowan berries.

It has a versatile medium weight and a traditional rustic wool feel yet has a smoothness which will naturally repel water and won't snag on thorns and brambles.

Why choose wool fabric? 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!
