Properties:
Texture: These fine suit-weight fabrics are woven from a blend of superfine wool and linen yarns, resulting in a lightweight cloth with a close weave and a subtly grained texture. The natural absorbency and clean, cool touch of linen can be detected throughout, giving the fabric a refined, breathable character.
Handle: Stable both widthwise and lengthwise, with a gentle, natural bias ease. Due to the linen content, these fabrics are more prone to creasing, adding to their relaxed charm. They possess a crisp, dry quality that makes them particularly suitable for warmer climates and spring/summer wear.
Drape: These fabrics will fall with an elegant, lightly structured drape when used in lengths over one metre. Shorter lengths will hold a more tailored shape, ideal for creating defined silhouettes.
Garment Suggestions:
Wool and linen blend suitings are ideal for lightweight, crisp seasonal garments designed for warmer weather.

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!
