Thinking big

I made curtains out of this fabric for my son and daughter-in-law, as part of their Christmas present, with triple pleats and buttons in a solid green. It is absolutely perfect for curtains, being quite a smooth fabric rather than 'woolly', and with a super drape. I could happily make a skirt with pleats in this one, but if I wore it when visiting my son I might become 'invisible'. I know that wool tweed curtains are not cheap, but when you think how well they prevent heat loss from your windows, they are a great investment. The pair I made are to go in a room with a feature wall in forest pine green. Of course, being herringbone, it is easy to use the 'tram lines' when making up, and the fabric seam itself is no problem, though make sure that you tack it carefully so that the herringbone pattern is maintained and you do not lose 'the vee'. There is one more thing - if you ever decide to change the curtains, you can make up a skirt or jacket without looking like something from The Sound of Music.

Introducing

Fabworks Yorkshire Tweeds

Our Yorkshire Tweed fabrics are created by the same team of expert craftsmen that produce our exclusive HoH Collection. From yarn through to weaving and finishing, these beauties are made int' Yorkshire mills by Yorkshire folk!

Origins:

Made in Yorkshire mills by Yorkshire folk! This is one of Fabworks’ famous Yorkshire-made pure wool fabrics, constructed using surplus yarns that have been recycled & repurposed to create limited runs of exquisite quality classic tweed styles. Locally manufactured within an 8-mile radius of Fabworks, UK-spun wool yarns sourced from across the country are put into weave at some of world’s most renowned tweed mills, located in Huddersfield (West Yorkshire, England, UK). The heritage and quality of these items represents classic British manufacturing, in the heart of The Heavy Woollen District of West Yorkshire, renowned for its expertise in wool textiles manufacture.

These are all bespoke one-off pieces that are only available at Fabworks, conjuring heritage, sentiment and locale into the curation of classy colour palettes with a colourful and eco-friendly sustainable twist.

Properties & Detailing:

Featuring a range of different weaves, weights and finishes, you will find herringbones, twills, tartans, block checks, birdseyes, jacquards, houndstooths & other special weaves. You may even spot some completely unique weaves in this collection, where along with our manufacturer, we have been able to create brand new & completely niche weave patterns. The weavers who produce these beautiful cloths are experts in their field, operating a small family-run setup, just like our Fabworks family, offering completely unique one-off limited runs.
