Descripción
Overview:
Obsidian Frost is a light-mediumweight, 100% cashmere herringbone with a hazy navy-grey palette. Stable, soft and deliciously malleable, with a sumptuous drape quality.
Specifications:
Weight: Light/Medium
GSM: 250
Composition: 100% Cashmere
Width: 140cm / 55.1inch
Width pattern repeat: 1.2cm / 0.5inch
Colour:
Overall: A hazy melanged dark navy blue-grey palette with a deep blue bold chevron appearance. A strong dark neutral that pairs well with grey, navy, cream or crisp white.
Shades: A smoky and hazy navy tone, which has been created by darkest navy and light marled grey yarns, which give a slightly melanged effect.
Design: A small neat herringbone repeat with bold chevron appearance thanks to the contrast yarns. The herringbone has a visual direction, so check the run before cutting and allow extra to match seams.
Properties:
Texture: A soft and smooth cashmere finish, closely woven and with a dense and reassuring feel, akin to a classic woollen flannel. Very lightly brushed on both sides giving a very smooth, even surface with a soft finish.
Handle: Stable and malleable, it holds its shape as you cut and sew. Softer than wool but sturdier than a luxury cashmere. This is a luxury 'do everything' cashmere that will stand the test of time more so than more delicate cashmere cloths.
Drape: A sumptuous drape quality. It falls softly and moves with the body, giving tailoring a relaxed, luxurious ease.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Ideal for tailored jackets and blazers, waistcoats, tailored trousers, skirts and lightweight coats, the classic herringbone giving a timeless heritage finish. Soft and malleable, it also suits capes, wraps and baker boy caps, and sits perfectly alongside country tweeds in a coordinated outfit. Notice the small herringbone weave, making it ideal for smaller scale projects.
Patterns: Browse our Sewing Patterns for Midweight Wools and Jacket & Coat Patterns that suit this cashmere, plus our own Pattern Stash designs: the Jemima Waistcoat and Amelia Skirt are the perfect place to start.
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 for a refined, country house feel: hem or bind the edges and the fine cashmere does the rest, for the perfect gift.
Upcycling: Use every scrap of this luxurious cashmere. Rework off-cuts into collar and cuff facings, pocket linings and hand-warmers.
