Colour:
Shades: This cosy felted Jumbo Herringbone is woven in a seriously stylish Chic Cream hue. A refined winter white with an elevated, quietly glamorous feel, it evokes impeccably tailored, floor-length coats and timeless designer elegance.
Design: A bold jumbo herringbone weave with an exaggerated 4.5cm chevron. The face showcases the sculptural herringbone texture, while the reverse is softly felted with a smooth flat weave finish.
Overall: Luxurious, confident, and timeless. Chic Cream is a statement outerwear fabric with enduring appeal. Heavyweight yet soft, dramatic yet refined, it is perfectly suited to elegant winter coats that prioritise both warmth and style.
Properties:
Texture: Super soft, closely woven, felted and lightly brushed, creating a dense yet inviting woollen surface that feels protective, soft and high quality.
Handle: Extremely stable and sturdy, yet unexpectedly soft thanks to the fine wool yarns. The double-faced construction adds body and structure while remaining rewarding to sew.
Drape: Heavy and enveloping, with a soft, reassuring fall. Perfect for outerwear that needs to hold its shape while still moving comfortably with the body.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Ideal for statement overcoats, classic duffle coats, winter jackets and hard-wearing field coats. This fabric excels in utility-inspired designs with generous pockets, worker and donkey jackets with leather or waxed yokes, and robust shackets that don’t require lining thanks to the minimal fraying.
Patterns: We would recommend patterns such as the Amara Vest, the Biker Jacket Cardi, the Brooklyn Coat, the Ilford Jacket, the Lyon Jacket, the Phoebe Coat and The Coat.
Other Uses:
Accessories: A superb choice for durable bags, satchels, protective covers and heavy-duty accessories that benefit from structure and longevity.
Furnishings: Excellent for upholstery and soft furnishings, including seat pads, boxed cushions, footstools and bench covers. Combine with rustic tweeds or leather appliqué for a traditional country-house or gentlemen’s-club aesthetic.
Upcycling: Offcuts are perfect for reinforced panels, trims, appliqué details, or smaller structured projects where warmth and durability are key.
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!
