Colour:
Shades: Greenewt is a stunning wool tweed that celebrates the hidden richness of aquatic and woodland habitats. Inspired by the secret world at water’s edge, ponds rimmed with moss, golden algae drifting in shallow light, and newts slipping between shadow and sunlit greens.
A mélange of aquatic algae greens, shifting from yellow-tinged freshness to mellow golden hues and deeper moss tones, creates a multi-faceted palette that feels both vibrant and grounded. A charcoal feature yarn defines the design, adding outline and contrast. The rounded 'eye' of the weave produces an almost scaled effect linking back to the natural theme.
Design: The intricate birdseye design displays the speckled and textured, melange yarns, echoing the organic irregularity of nature.
Overall: This fine example of Yorkshire Tweed boasts an abundance of organic vitality. A fabric alive with subtle shifts of green, balanced by dark charcoal definition. Rustic refinement springs to mind when defining this fabric's style, with a traditional weave and an ecological colour story.
Properties:
Texture: This closely woven woollen wonder has a soft, lightly-brushed feel and boasts a traditional wool tweed feel without the itchiness.
Handle: Super stable in length and width with generous bias ease. This fabric is malleable yet stable enough to hold crisp details such as tucks and pleats.
Drape: This fabric offers a classic drape expected from a tweed; it definitely lends itself best to classic, structured pieces such as blazers, coats, and waist coats.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Ideal for tailoring, outerwear, or interiors that call for a fabric with verdant energy and timeless depth. Embodying the quiet drama of wild places into heritage tweed craft.
Perfect for fashioning classic outerwear and hard-wearing separates. Start with simple, stylish waistcoats, pencil skirts or A-line skirts. Add a complementary lining for garments that will soon become perennial favourites. Tried and tested, these medium-light-weight materials have a variety of stylish and practical uses, from clothing and accessories to home furnishings and so much more.
Patterns: Consider patterns such as Cordelia Trousers(lined), Jemima Waistcoat, Belvedere Waistcoat, the Amelia Skirt, the Ilford Jacket, the Kusama Jacket, the Kyoto Jacket, the Lyon Jacket, The Blazer, The Coat, Verona Jacket and The Frame Bag.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Complete your outfits with matching accessories, including hats, caps, neck warmers, mittens, and wrist warmers.
Furnishings: Use this hard-wearing, yet soft classic wool herringbone to create a range of coordinating soft furnishings such as curtains, blinds, throws, blankets and cushions for truly harmonious styling in the home.
