Descripción
Overview:
This fabric forms part of a selection of lighter-weight Marled Yorkshire Tweed Herringbone fabrics, which were woven in finer gauge yarns than their usual Yorkshire Tweed counterparts. These finer yarns have produced a lighter-weight, softer, and even more malleable fabric - better suited to finer projects, such as lighter-weight Blazers, lined tailored trousers, and skirts/dresses, and perfect for adding soft details, frills, flounces, and ruffles. They are also the ideal weight for the sharp finish required in traditional tailoring.
Use Autumn Lilac alongside its sibling fabrics, Autumn Sand, Autumn Garnet, Autumn Azure and Autumn Blush.
Specifications:
Weight: Medium / Light
GSM: 290
Composition: 100% Lambswool
Width: 150cm / 59.1inch
Pattern repeat: 1.3cm / 0.5inch
Colour:
Shades: Autumn Lilac features a muted pastel palette inspired by mist settling over heathered hills at dusk, twilight skies turning lavender against weathered stone, and the soft transformation of nature as autumn evolves. The base yarns of natural white with marled grey melange provide a grounded, organic undertone visible beneath the lavender, lending a cool, romantic tone, soft and sophisticated without feeling overly pastel.
Pair with the soft neutral of Autumn Sand for timeless elegance.
Design: The classic, rhythmic chevron pattern of a heritage herringbone weave, featuring a marled grey base.
Overall: Autumn Lilac is a fabric of quiet transformation, marrying heritage craftsmanship with a soft, contemporary romance. A gentle nod to heritage tweeds, made modern and feminine for early-autumn wardrobes.
Properties:
Texture: This fabric is closely woven with fine 100% lambswool yarns, which creates a softer, smoother texture compared to the usual Yorkshire tweed wool feel.
Handle: Super malleable and stable in length with slight ease along the width and a generous bias ease.
Drape: All the properties create a fabulous all-rounder fabric that boasts a drape to be trusted to form pretty gathers, crisp pleats, frills, flounces and ruffles.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Perfect for fashioning classic outerwear and hard-wearing separates. Start off with simple, stylish waistcoats, pencil skirts or A-line skirts. Add a complementary lining for garments that will soon become perennial favourites. Tried and tested, these medium-light-weight materials have a variety of stylish and practical uses, from clothing and accessories to home furnishings and so much more.
Patterns: Consider patterns such as Cordelia Trousers, Jemima Waistcoat, Belvedere Waistcoat, the Amelia Skirt, the Ilford Jacket, the Kusama Jacket, the Kyoto Jacket, the Lyon Jacket, The Blazer, The Coat, Verona Jacket and the The Frame Bag.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Complete your outfits with matching accessories: hats, caps, neck warmers, mittens and wrist-warmers.
Furnishings: Use this hard-wearing, yet soft classic wool herringbone to create a range of coordinating soft furnishings such as curtains, blinds, throws, blankets and cushions for truly harmonious styling in the home.
Upcycling: Don't let your scraps go to waste; use them for appliquéd cushions, bags, door stops, and draught excluders.
