Descrizione
Colour:

Emerald Isle is the most vibrant colour-saturated emerald-turquoise hue like a deep lagoon or precious gemstone hewed from the earth. This captivating colour is the colour of nature where the land meets the sea.

Add this opulent gem-hued, Irish woollen to your cool-weather wardrobe, or fashion soft- furnishings for your home that will lift your spirits and warm your heart. turquoise-emerald hues sit perfectly alongside rich amethyst purples, lilacs and other aqua-green hues. Try this alongside deep mallard green for a serious style.

Specification:

Weight: Light / Medium

GSM: 316

Composition: 70% Mohair  30% Pure Lambswool

Width: 154cm / 60.6inch

Woven in Ireland using surplus yarns for a sustainable and minimal waste fabric

Properties:

The tiny, bouclé curls throughout the luxury yarn used to create these indulgent fabrics produce a wonderfully lustrous textural effect. Like the curls of feather down, the curls in the bouclé fabric create a sumptuous and comforting, almost bouncy thickness you must envelop yourself in. This open-weave wool and mohair fabric is a natural insulator and the slight spaces between the weave also help to trap warm air creating a layer of comforting warmth.

Mohair fibres have naturally long and resilient fibres, almost furry, therefore the open weave is obscured by the soft heavy pile of yarn. This Mohair Bouclé has a medium / heavyweight drapey handle. It is stable both width and lengthwise but does have movement and some give to the bias. Due to the fabric's open-weave nature, we recommend lining semi-structured garments and some areas may require a light interfacing product.

Garment Suggestions:

Bouclé-style woollen fabrics have been used historically for super chic designer-style French couture jackets. This classic style has filtered down into high-street fashion, perfect for neat cardigan-style jackets you can wear with your favourite jeans or dress up with a classic dress and skirt. The Biker Jacket Cardi is a simple edge-to-edge jacket lined and piped on the outer edges.  

Simple cocoon-style coats such as The Cocoon Jacket are another great make as are, artist-style unlined cowl neck tops like The Artists Smock. Garments that do not require lining such as cardigan styles, simple wraps and ponchos/ capes are perfect for enveloping oneself in on cold days when you don't want to turn the heating up. Sew Different's Swing Jacket and Riva Jacket are two great examples.

Other Uses:

Create colourful accessories: hats, caps, ear warmers, headbands and cosy cowls with this indulgent Irish woollen

Commission Made:

This fabric is from the Fabworks x Avoca collaboration for A/W 2024, that features a collection of commission-made luxury wool-based fabrics.

Using only surplus yarns leftover from Avoca's previous weaving schedules, Fabworks has designed & commissioned these fabrics, giving you the opportunity to create bright & bubbly bespoke pieces.

Fabworks x Avoca

Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!

The working relationship between Fabworks and Avoca blossomed over the next few years and allowed Fabworks to develop its focus on high end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and away from the lower end of the textiles market.

Four years and several thousand metres of fabric later, Fabworks took a bigger step than ever before, and collaborated with Avoca to commission its own range of Irish-made pure wool fabrics which marked the launch of Fabworks Online, November 16th 2015. This was a defining moment for Fabworks, being the very first collection of fabrics that we commissioned ourselves. With a range of herringbones in iconic Avoca colour-rich palettes, this was Fabworks’ first taste of proper manufacturing in the 21st century.
