Garment Suggestions for Mediumweight Wool Tweeds
Our stunning wool tweeds are created by the same team of expert craftsmen that produce our exclusive HoH Collection. From yarn through to weaving and finishing, this beauty was made in Yorkshire mills by Yorkshire folk!
Dressmakers, Reenactors, Costumiers, Interior Designers, Craftspeople and all lovers of textiles will find an abundance of uses for our Yorkshire Tweeds. Taking you through A/W and into spring, after all, wool has natural water-repelling and temperature-regulating properties. Relaxing when steamed and contracting when cooled, wool allows for flexibility in areas such as elbows on jackets and pleats & gathers on skirts, giving you the freedom to create custom fits for a variety of garments.
Perfect for fashioning classic outerwear and hard-wearing separates. Start off with simple, stylish waistcoats, pencil skirts or A-line skirts. Add a complementary lining for garments that will soon become perennial favourites. Tried and tested these medium-weight materials have a variety of stylish and practical uses, from clothing and accessories to home furnishings and so much more.
Have fun with panelled garments, mix and match your favourite tones, or create an interesting visual focus by using on the bias. Alternatively, intertwine with our legacy Heart of Huddersfield wools for coordinated and cohesive palettes: Herringbones, Twill Meltons & Thistledown Marl. The soft drape of Thistledown Marl is ideal for the soft bias-cut roll collars - make sure to line sleeves and skirts for comfort, for the perfect layering garment!
