Descripción
Overview:
Frosted Blueberry is a light-mediumweight, 100% cashmere herringbone that has an ultra soft hand, is stable, seriously soft and deliciously malleable, with a sumptuous smooth drape quality.
Specifications:
Weight: Light/Medium
GSM: 250
Composition: 100% Cashmere
Width: 144cm / 56.7inch
Width pattern repeat: 1.2cm / 0.5inch
Colour:
Overall: A hazy melanged navy blue-grey palette with a bold chevron appearance. A strong dark neutral that pairs well with grey, navy, cream or crisp white.
Shades: A smoky and hazy navy tone. Indigo navy, almost blueberry skin toned yarns, alongside a contrast weft of soft frosted light grey marled yarns.
Design: A classic small scale herringbone, the navy and frosted grey yarns defining the chevrons. The herringbone has a visual direction, so check the run before cutting and allow extra to match seams.
Properties:
Texture: Closely woven and stable, beautifully brushed for an ultra soft hand on both sides, with a subtle lustre and giving a very smooth, even surface with a soft velvety finish that invites touch.
Handle: The softest malleable hand. This is the kind of cashmere fabric that you just have to keep feeling. Stable and closely woven, it holds its shape as you cut and sew, making this fabric as rewarding to work with as it is to wear.
Drape: Featuring a super soft drape quality, this fine, light-mediumweight cashmere falls and moves with the body. Ideal for anything that will show off the drape of this exquisite fabric, giving tailoring a relaxed, luxurious style.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Create typifying British heritage styles in this redolent palette, ideal for soft tailored blazers and trousers, jackets, waistcoats, skirts, lightweight coats and coatigans where the herringbone can be matched across the seams. Equally suitable for unstructured styles such as luxury robes, wraps, ruanas, capes and ponchos, where the chevrons run the full length of the piece. Allow extra fabric to match the herringbone at the centre front, side seams and pockets.
Top tip! As with any brushed cloth, cut all pieces directionally to ensure the colour appears evenly throughout your garment and its brushed soft hand on both the face and reverse make it perfect for unlined styles.

Other Uses:
Accessories: Perfect for heritage accessories: baker boy and flat caps, scarves, stoles and bags, with the softness of cashmere and the classic look of a country tweed.
Furnishings: Luxury throws and cushion covers with a classic country house feel: hem or bind the edges and the herringbone does the rest. A heritage gift of the utmost quality.
Upcycling: Make the most of every remnant and off-cut of this luxurious cashmere by reworking them into collar and cuff facings, covered buttons and pocket linings, as well as hand warmers.
