Description
Introduction:
Morning Mist 2 - Marled Melton is an all wool melton fabric just like its predecessor from the Valley Mist collection, one of our very special exclusive Heart of Huddersfield wools.
Colour:
The blend of misty raincloud grey tones in Morning Mist produces this misty and hazy overall soft grey tone, inspired by the forever changing landscape of the Holme Valley that was typically clothed in mist and fog during more industrial times.
This 100% wool is created by weaving a natural and grey marled yarn on the warp and weft. The fabric is then filled, one of the processes used in creating meltons, to give that felt-like finish. Each marled melton is then piece-dyed to its unique colour, emphasising the darker underlying grey fibres to create a multi-tonal marled effect, hence the name: Marled Melton.
Properties:
This closely woven, felted and brushed 100% wool has a versatile medium/heavyweight and a traditional wool feel that is lightly brushed and cosy. Boasting a stable handle that drapes reassuringly. Morning Mist is perfect for keeping the elements out and being a wool fabric, it will do as you tell it. Woollen fabrics of this kind are easy to sew and will stand the test of time.
Garment Suggestions:
Dressmakers, Reenactors, Costumiers, Interior Designers and Craftspeople: you will find a plethora of uses for this first-rate melton fabric, taking you through Autumn /Winter and into Spring.
Dressmakers: this fabric is ideal for fashioning classic outerwear pieces and hard-wearing separates, these meltons will keep you especially warm and dry without being too heavy or bulky. Start with simple gilets and waistcoats or stylish wrap skirts for a quick make.
When your sewing skills are more established, jackets, coats and capes will give you all the sewing satisfaction you could wish for, try classic pea coats, duffle coats and oversized statement coat styles. Choose a complementary lining to give a sophisticated finish to garments that will soon become perennial favourites. This hard-wearing felted wool fabric is also ideal for field-style jackets and country clothing. Style your Morning Mist makes with other jewel tones from the Valley Mist collection for a rich and coordinating palette.
Reenactors and Costumiers: you will delight in the natural hues of this 100% wool. A hard-wearing fabric superb that is for outerwear. A classic weave that is naturally weatherproof, full of natural fibres, with natural colours and a classic wool feel.
Interior Designers: a wool fabric featuring that typical rugged look will help you to create a range of cosy but quirky nature-toned soft furnishings. Cushions, throws, blinds and curtains will all look subtle yet striking in the home.
Craftspeople: appliquéd cushions, bag making, door stops, draught excluders, hats, caps, neck warmers, mittens & wrist-warmers, throws & blankets and much more. Whatever this fabric inspires you to do!
The Perfect Fit: having put the whole collection together and tested out colour and weave combinations, we think that Morning Mist matches perfectly with the other mysterious and misty tones in the Valley Mist collection as well as all the other Marled Meltons.
