Overview:
Autumn Beige Barleycorn is a 100% cashmere flannel, the beauty and softness of our cashmere is finely woven into a barleycorn pattern. A gentle, natural melange tone, light brown with a barleycorn texture matches quiet visual interest with the unique softness of pure cashmere.
Specifications:
Weight: Light/Medium
GSM: 242
Composition: 100% Cashmere
Width: 156cm / 61.4inch
Colour:
Overall: This is a soft neutral shade, gentle and easy-on-the-eye; its all-over tone will match happily with creams, chocolates, rusts, olives or even denim blue, and for the brave could live with a brighter check.
Shades: Melange yarns of soft sand, and lighter beiges, spun together so the cloth is subtly mottled. Plain, but textured and extremely natural-looking.
Design: A barleycorn weave, a small all-over figure built on a staggered twill, featuring the almost chevron-like tiny detailing that gives the surface its quiet texture.
Bonus - the melange is all-over and the detail is tiny, so there is no pattern matching to worry about.
Properties:
Texture: A fine, closely woven surface with the gentle brushed finish of a true flannel, soft and cosy to the touch.
Handle: A top-quality tailoring fabric, the closely woven Autumn Beige will hold its shape as you cut and sew, but still malleable enough to ease and press into neat, sharp details where required.
Drape: A beautiful, soft and malleable drape, it hangs reassuringly and falls cleanly, which is exactly what you want from a light-mediumweight flannel.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Uses as for that of light to medium-weight flannels: trousers, jackets, waistcoats, skirts, pinafore dresses, shackets and lightweight wraps, from soft tailoring to unstructured styles.
Top tip! Melange cloths can shade slightly along the length, so cut all pieces in the same direction to keep the colour even throughout your garment.

- Sewing Patterns for Midweight Wools
- Jacket & Coat Patterns
Other Uses:
Accessories: Create luxury accessories that show off the soft drape: scarves, wraps, stoles, caps and bags, and other tactile accessories you will want to keep at hand.
Furnishings: Throws and cushion covers in a calm natural neutral: hem or bind the edges and let the fine cashmere do the rest.
Upcycling: Make the most of every remnant and off-cut of this cashmere by reworking them into collar and cuff facings, covered buttons and pocket linings, as well as hand warmers.
