Customer Reviews
I missed this for a while, perhaps because as just a swatch it is understated, but I wanted something for a skirt to tone in with my 'Ruby Poodle' bouclé coatigan and a berry herringbone waistcoat without opting for black or more solid red. This is perfect, and the herringbone is a narrow one, little finger wide, which gives a delicacy to it. This is also a lighter weight herringbone, ideal for indoors, or shoulder season wear, with an excellent finish. I wish I had bought it earlier.
I am so pleased with this fabric. Extremely good quality and a lovely warm colour. Looking forward to making this into a handbag and matching scarf. Would definitely recommend.
Material is as described and looks great on my recovered footstool .
The Yorkshire tweed we use from Fabworks is is truly the best there is ,consistent high quality
