Duskendale Check - Double Faced Wool Coating is a truly first-rate super soft wool coating fabric. This Italian crafted woollen coating is woven in a combination of rugged grey and darkest navy yarns (like craggy granite cliffs rising from black/navy watery depths) and form the superb hazy check on the face side of this sublime fabric. The darkest navy is repeated (in solid form) on the reverse of the fabric.
Duskendale Check has the most incredible super soft brushed surface like the coat of a well-groomed thoroughbred horse. The soft, smooth and glossy brushed surface has obscured the fine lines within the check, producing a sleek yet cosy look that is truly stunning. Looks aside, you won't be able to stop stroking this beauty; it's so gorgeous! We think there may be some cashmere in those yarns it's sooooooo soft!
Duskendale Check is strong and stable too with a dense close weave and felted finish, yet it also has a soft and malleable drape quality too. This dark and dusky fabric is simply perfect for making luxurious outerwear projects, its comforting qualities make it an ideal fabric for coatigan/shacket type projects. No need to line the fabric when you have such comfort next to the skin!
You'll find it perfect for making traditional unlined Duffel coats, jackets and neat pencil skirt ensembles. Tailored bomber jackets, cocoon coats and vintage blouson jackets will also look superb, as will wraps and ponchos. Use this stunning fabric for hat, caps and bag making too!

Benefits of sewing with Wool! 🐑
We love wonderful wool! Why? Because it looks beautiful, well yes but did you know wool has a series of superpowers that make it the most incredible natural fibre, suitable for more garment suggestions and sewing inspiration than possibly any other?
Wool has a unique naturally crimped 3D structure which attributes to some brilliant properties & makes it a great fabric to wear throughout all the seasons.
Naturally Breathable: This amazing 3D crimped structure promotes air circulation allowing air to pass through the fabric, allowing for circulation and ventilation for your skin to breathe, keeping you cool.
Shower Resistant: Sheep naturally produce a waxy substance called lanolin. As sheep live outdoors, this naturally occurring wax helps to protect sheep from the elements, naturally shedding water & keeping them dry. This same property is retained within the wool fibres when spun into yarn.
Moisture Absorbing: The moisture-retentive superpowers of wool! It’s hydrophilic core gives wool the ability to wick away moisture keeping you dry and comfortable – this possibly one of our favourite properties because you can stay fresh when wearing wool, from autumn right through to spring!
