Colour:
Shades: Highland Tide features a palette where warp yarns of mist grey melange hue meet weft yarns of kingfisher turquoise, evoking rising mist over glinting waters. The navy overchecks represent deep coastal shadows or stormy skies, and the sunshine gold overchecks capture fleeting rays of sunlight breaking through the clouds. The interplay of the accent overchecks with the grey warp and coloured weft creates subtle colour changes, making the gold appear to take on a slight green tone.
Design: Windowpane check - characterised by slim, evenly spaced bands of colour running vertically and horizontally to form large squares, reminiscent of windowpanes. The windowpane structure mimics the patchwork of fields and cliffs, giving a classic architectural rhythm to the natural inspiration.
Overall: Perfect for heritage-inspired collections that celebrate the Northern UK’s coastal and highland landscapes, balancing natural tones with a jewel-like energy
Properties:
Texture: Rustic yet refined, producing a slightly soft but structured feel, ideal for tactile appreciation.
Handle: A super malleable and stable hand with structure in the length and width, and a generous bias ease.
Drape: Together, these properties create a fabulous all-rounder fabric that boasts a drape you can trust to form pretty gathers, crisp pleats, frills, flounces, and ruffles.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Perfect for fashioning classic outerwear and hard-wearing separates. Start 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-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 the Cordelia Trousers, the Jemima Waistcoat, the 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 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 to create a range of coordinating soft furnishings such as curtains, blinds, throws, blankets and cushions for truly harmonious styling in the home.
