Descripción
Specifications:
Weight: Light
GSM: 138
Composition: 100% Polyester
Width: 148cm / 58.2inch
Colour:
Shades: This mesh-lace-like knitted fabric features space-dyed runs of gold and bronze ombré yarns, adorned with sequins, creating beautiful visual depth and a richly textured surface.
Design: Knitted in an open lace and mesh-like structure, using space-dyed yarns that create an ombré effect flowing from soft gold beige through to burnished bronze-brown.
Overall: A fancy knitted lace mesh fabric with sequins, with all the knitting already done for you, all that remains is deciding which statement garment to create.
Properties:
Texture: This textural wonder has a truly soft elastic drape; think slouchy, unstructured throw-on pieces. With a Boho style vibe and elements of 1920s glitter and swinging flapper style, however you interpret Sequin Sweater Knit, you are sure to have a unique and eye-catching creation. Fine lurex-like eyelash and bouclé filaments add depth, movement and tactile interest to the yarn.
Handle: The open knit structure provides relaxed, natural ease both widthwise and lengthwise.
Drape: This loose, open-knit fabric delivers a fluid, slouchy drape exactly as expected from a lightweight mesh knit.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Perfect for slash-necked, loose-fitting sweaters and tops. Dolman-sleeved styles work beautifully in this sparkling fabric, as do relaxed cardigans, wraps and statement throws.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Save your scraps to create coordinating lined shopping bags that fold neatly into your handbag, or matching hair ties and belts for a polished finishing touch.
Sourced As Deadstock:
This fabric is from the Fabworks x Avoca collaboration for A/W 2024, that features a collection of deadstock luxury dressmaking fabrics & trimmings.
Delivered to Fabworks straight from the Avoca garment makers, this fabric has very limited stock availability and cannot be repeated once sold out. If you've spotted something you like, don't leave it too long before ordering!
Fabworks x Avoca
Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!
The working relationship between Fabworks and Avoca blossomed over the next few years and allowed Fabworks to develop its focus on high end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and away from the lower end of the textiles market.
Four years and several thousand metres of fabric later, Fabworks took a bigger step than ever before, and collaborated with Avoca to commission its own range of Irish-made pure wool fabrics which marked the launch of Fabworks Online, November 16th 2015. This was a defining moment for Fabworks, being the very first collection of fabrics that we commissioned ourselves. With a range of herringbones in iconic Avoca colour-rich palettes, this was Fabworks’ first taste of proper manufacturing in the 21st century.
