Introduction:
This quality wool coating is a true classic. Expertly woven in Italy, originally for a top British designer.
Colour:
Red Fair & Square Red has been created using predominantly black yarns and accentuated by a jaunty red windowpane check. A subtle grey windowpane check adds further interest to this hard-wearing coating fabric and will look fabulous fashioned into items that will maximise the impact of the large check.
Properties:
Red Fair & Square is woven from closely set, heavy-gauge, all-wool yarns. These cosy and naturally temperature-regulating yarns are highly twisted to produce extra density, thus producing a close twill woven fabric with a semi-ribbed, hopsack texture. This sturdy fabric is stable, has a heavy drape quality, and subtle sheen and is naturally water and soil-resistant. Wool serge fabrics have been used for centuries to make military uniforms and other smart and hard-wearing apparel.
Garment Suggestions:
Cocoon coats, classic overcoats, and stylish tailored capes will look magnificent especially if you play around with your cutting layouts and feature some bias-cut panels to flared cape styles and swing coats. Add a contrasting lining and you will have a garment to be proud of.
Why not try combining this fabric with its sister fabric: Yellow Fair & Square - Serge Wool Check.
Other Uses:
If you want some quick and easy makes to furnish your home this cosy woollen will make hard-wearing lightly upholstered pieces and cushions! Create super easy envelope-style cushions and add some striking yellow or grey buttons to finish off. Use your offcuts to create flat caps, baker boy caps, bucket hats and matching bags!

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!
