Introduction:
Royal Blue Mackay Style - Wool Tartan Richly coloured dark tartans are a perennial favourite and are ideal for adding a splash of colour and pattern to otherwise plain outfits.
Colour:
Here we have a classic all-wool twill, Royal Blue and deep midnight navy are teamed with black and accents of red to produce this jewel-toned tartan. Ideal for both classic, retro and high fashion garments. Tartan is timeless and plaid is not a fad! This classic looks fabulous teamed with super-smart black, navy, royal blue or red separates.
Properties:
Wool is of course warm, temperature-regulating, naturally showerproof (natural fibre) and stain-resistant. Royal Blue has a classic wool feel, stable hand and reassuring drape quality which is ideal for tailoring.
Garment Suggestions:
Royal Blue will look great cut on the bias for tucked and draped Vivienne Westwood style dresses and skirts. Other uses are pencil skirts, and classic semi-tailored silhouettes, jackets, waistcoats and 50's style cigarette pants, add a matching waistcoat such as the Jemima Waistcoat.
If you love bold tartan statements add some Cordelia Trousers, Pinafore dresses, fit and flare dresses and circle skirts and lots of other '40s & '50s Rockabilly, Retro and Lindy Bop Styles). Create classic kilts, coats, jackets, capes and poncho wraps.
Other Uses:
Hats, caps, bags and accessories.
Customer Reviews
I like this plaid , it will look great as my next kilt, but i ask myself pleating to the stripe or to the sett ??
It was a bit brighter than I was expecting so I had to order another piece in a quieter colour. I am pleased with the new one.
Great Quality wool as always from Fabworks. I love the colour .
It would make a lovely pinafore dress or skirt or jacket.
Benefits of sewing with Wool! 🐑
We love wonderful wool! Why? Because it looks beautiful, well yes but did you know wool has a series of superpowers that make it the most incredible natural fibre, suitable for more garment suggestions and sewing inspiration than possibly any other?
Wool has a unique naturally crimped 3D structure which attributes to some brilliant properties & makes it a great fabric to wear throughout all the seasons.
Naturally Breathable: This amazing 3D crimped structure promotes air circulation allowing air to pass through the fabric, allowing for circulation and ventilation for your skin to breathe, keeping you cool.
Shower Resistant: Sheep naturally produce a waxy substance called lanolin. As sheep live outdoors, this naturally occurring wax helps to protect sheep from the elements, naturally shedding water & keeping them dry. This same property is retained within the wool fibres when spun into yarn.
Moisture Absorbing: The moisture-retentive superpowers of wool! It’s hydrophilic core gives wool the ability to wick away moisture keeping you dry and comfortable – this possibly one of our favourite properties because you can stay fresh when wearing wool, from autumn right through to spring!
