Introduction:

If you love fine-quality wool crepe but don’t want complicated and careful washing instructions, then this is the one for you! 

Colour:

As its name suggests Dark Spruce boasts a deep darkest blue-based green hue like the dark coniferous trees of its namesake. This is so rich it has an opulent jewel-like tone like precious gems.

Properties: 

A finely grained texture is typical of a dress-weight crepe, and Dark Spruce has a stunning and weighty drape quality (even better across the bias) and a medium-weight handle, plus excellent retentive stretch across the width. This closely woven quality fabric also has good opacity so lining may not be a necessity.

Garment Suggestions:

Create elegant garments that emphasise the elegant drape quality by choosing sewing pattern styles with softly flowing details and fine gathers. Think 1940s styles with fine gathers just below the bust, slimming darts and extending through the waist. You can even use this fabric to make elegant drapey palazzo pants, jumpsuits or culottes. Dark Spruce will gather beautifully so why not make garments with gently gathered waistlines or feminine flared '70s styles?

Full-sleeved blouses with stylish classic tie-necks and softly gathered details will look impeccable (as will most classic shirt and blouse styles).  Extend the classic tie-neck blouse aesthetic into a super stylish dress- a simple shirt dress or add some gathered tiers. The Megan Nielsen Protea Collection Pattern is a superb pattern, perfect for use with this fabric. This is one of those fabrics that will do all the work.

Other accessible patterns perfect for chic drapey fabrics are the Pink City Collection from Sew Different: The Tuk Tuk Wrap Dress will look perfect when made in Dark Spruce perfect even as a winter bridesmaid dress.
