Rainbows In The Dark - Windowpane Check

This large windowpane checked wool fabric is woven in a classic twill weave from the softest yarn (high wool content) with a little added nylon and cotton for durability. Rainbows in the Dark is a medium weight reversible fabric with the softest brushed finish (on both sides) that's so comforting. Expertly woven in Italy, originally for a top British designer, this multi-tonal, (darkest navy on one side and black on the other) fabric is woven with a large windowpane design that features a rainbow of colours that intersect the dark background like rainbow-coloured lasers. Red, blue, green, turquoise, yellow and purple are all represented in the super windowpane check.

This super soft and cosy, brushed, reversible, medium/ heavyweight twill is stable width and lengthwise and has a soft enveloping drape. Rainbows In The Dark will look fabulous fashioned into items that will maximise the impact of the large check.

Simple ponchos, wraps, capes and stoles are a great place to dip your toe into. When you are feeling more adventurous, cocoon coats, classic overcoats, and stylish tailored capes will look magnificent! Play around with your cutting layouts and feature some bias-cut panels to flared cape styles and swing coats, add a contrasting lining in one of the rainbow colours and you will have a garment to be proud of.

If you want some quick and easy makes to furnish your home this cosy woollen will make fabulous throws and cushions!
