GSM: 209

Colour:
Khaki Olive is a first-rate fabric that's super smart and versatile, certainly worthy of a place in your fabric stash. You are sure to find an infinite number of projects to make up in this khaki-olive-hued fabric. This natural earthy woodland green has a certain designer flair and looks super smart teamed with navy and red.
Properties:
Twill-woven fabrics are excellent for pulling other textures and styles together. Basic staples, key pieces within your wardrobe. This heavier-than-poplin weight fabric has the benefit of viscose's soft and reassuringly weighty drape qualities, plus the characteristic fine diagonals of the twill weave.
Woven from superfine yarns in a close weave this fabric is stable, strong and has a luxurious sheen on the face. It will look amazing, pleated or formed into fine gathers which will form voluminous fullness- think dramatic sleeves!
Garment Suggestions:
Make excellent statement shirts and blouses, shirt dresses, cowl-necked dresses, drapey play suits and jumpsuits, loose-fitting trousers such as palazzo pants, harems and culottes, and so much more!
Khaki Olive will also make a superior lining for heavy-weight coats and jackets, bags, purses etc.
Sourced As Deadstock:
This fabric is from the Fabworks x Avoca collaboration for A/W 2024, that features a collection of deadstock luxury dressmaking fabrics & trimmings.
Delivered to Fabworks straight from the Avoca garment makers, this fabric has very limited stock availability and cannot be repeated once sold out. If you've spotted something you like, don't leave it too long before ordering!
Fabworks x Avoca
Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!
The working relationship between Fabworks and Avoca blossomed over the next few years and allowed Fabworks to develop its focus on high end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and away from the lower end of the textiles market.
Four years and several thousand metres of fabric later, Fabworks took a bigger step than ever before, and collaborated with Avoca to commission its own range of Irish-made pure wool fabrics which marked the launch of Fabworks Online, November 16th 2015. This was a defining moment for Fabworks, being the very first collection of fabrics that we commissioned ourselves. With a range of herringbones in iconic Avoca colour-rich palettes, this was Fabworks’ first taste of proper manufacturing in the 21st century.
