Descrizione
Overview:
Woven in Yorkshire from fine combed worsted yarns, this is the pedigree sibling of our traditional wool tweeds. Combing the yarn produces an impeccable lustrous sheen and a softer, more fluid hand than a classic woollen tweed, stable under the hand yet deliciously drapey. A small scale herringbone in a delicate natural pink, offset by a zesty lime green.
Specifications:
Weight: Medium
GSM: 260
Composition: 100% Wool
Width: 153cm / 60.2inch
Pattern repeat width: 1.3cm / 0.5inch
Colour:
Shades: A delicate natural pink warp meets a weft of zesty lime green, the exact green of water mint, the herbaceous plant that throws soft lilac pink flowers above its own foliage. Fresh, zesty and full of goodness against the softness of the pink.
Design: Small scale worsted herringbone with a 1.3cm chevron repeat across the width. Pink and green alternate through every point of the chevron.
Overall: Fresh and feminine. Like the flowers of its namesake, pink and green are a match made in heaven.
Properties:
Texture: The combed worsted yarns give a smooth, fine surface with none of the hairiness of a woollen tweed, the small chevrons crisply defined and catching the light.
Handle: Softer and more fluid than a traditional tweed. Stable to cut and sew, but with real give and life in the hand.
Drape: Deliciously drapey for a tweed. Holds a tailored line, but falls and moves rather than standing away from the body.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Spring and summer layering is where this cloth belongs. Unlined jackets, blazers, waistcoats, A-line and pleated skirts, wide leg trousers and shift dresses all work well, and the fluidity supports softly tailored and gathered shapes that a stiffer tweed would fight.
Patterns: See our Sewing Patterns for Midweight Wools collection for shapes suited to a cloth of this weight and drape.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Water Mint makes excellent structured bags, caps, berets, scarves and wraps, where the sheen of the worsted yarn is worth showing off.
Furnishings: Cushions, throws and upholstered seat pads for a room that wants softness rather than a heavy country tweed.
Upcycling: Worsted of this quality is worth saving. Offcuts rework into appliqué, patch pockets, collar and cuff facings, and covered buttons.
