Colour:
Cast your eyes over the captivating hues of this Emerald Mine woven from yarns saturated with the most regal colour of green, like precious gems hewed from deep in the earth. Smoke-grey marled warp yarns add definition to the precious emerald green weft yarns and form a superb contrast that emphasises the angular detailing of the herringbone chevrons like glinting emerald cuts.
Properties:
Emerald Mine is a closely woven woollen fabric with a versatile medium-weight and traditional tweedy feel- the use of a boucle-style yarn creates a wonderfully slubby texture and a more distinct tweedy look and style. It boasts a stable handle that drapes reassuringly with the promise of cosy warmth.
It’s the perfect fabric for a plethora of sewing room projects, and it will always do as it’s told. Wool of this kind is easy to sew and will stand the test of time. All textiles lovers will find many uses for this first-rate Yorkshire Tweed, taking you through A/W and perfectly into Spring.
