Properties:
The close twill woven construction of Urban Scrawl produces a medium/heavy fabric that is dense and stable, thanks to twisted worsted yarns which are particularly lustrous and hard-wearing. This serge has a heavy drape quality, has a subtle sheen where the twisted yarns catch the light. This ex-designer woollen is naturally water and soil-resistant, regulating the temperature of the wearer and so much more.
The ideal fabric for those concerned with sustainability and not wanting to wear fast fashion. Wool serge fabrics have been used for centuries to make military uniforms and other smart and hard-wearing apparel.

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!
