Overview:
Granite Sketch is a light, superfine wool flannel that balances subtle texture with quiet sophistication. Designed for refined everyday tailoring, this elegant fabric offers softness, depth and versatility, making it ideal for garments that feel modern, understated and effortlessly wearable.
Specifications:
Weight: Light
GSM: 200
Composition: 100% wool
Width: 160cm / 62.9inch
Colour:
Shades: This superfine wool flannel is woven from a combination of black and marled smoke grey yarns. These subtle tonal variations create a sketch-like, striated appearance, giving the fabric a beautifully nuanced surface and an overall granite-inspired hue.
Design: At first glance, this fabric appears to be a superfine flat weave with sketchy striations created by the melange of yarns, but on closer inspection, a clever, almost parquet tiled basket weave is revealed.
Overall: Finely woven suiting-type fabrics of this genre are often created in Italy, made by master craftsmen with all the heritage and style of generations. Granite Sketch will make stylish apparel in classic and contemporary styles.
Properties:
Texture: Exceptionally soft with a lightly brushed, flannelled surface that feels gentle and cosy against the skin and certainly not itchy.
Handle: Light to light-weight with a smooth, supple handle. The superfine wool fibres give the fabric a refined feel while remaining stable, making it practical and easy to work with.
Drape: Soft and fluid with a natural, elegant fall, perfect for garments that benefit from gentle movement and shaping.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Ideal for dresses, skirts, trousers, shirts, blouses, lightweight jackets, overshirts and relaxed tailoring. Equally suited to layering pieces and softly structured garments. This fabric pairs beautifully with simple, clean silhouettes that allow the colour and texture to take centre stage. Use for statement pieces or incorporate into a capsule wardrobe for warmth and impact.
Patterns: We recommend patterns such as the Amelia Skirt, the Juno Trousers, the Cordelia Trousers and the Dawn Jeans
Other Uses:
Accessories: Ideal for coordinating accessories such as scarves, fabric belts, soft bags and statement pieces.
Upcycling: Excellent for contrast panels, trims, facings and smaller creative projects where its depth of colour and texture can be showcased.
