Specifications:
Weight: Medium / Heavy
GSM: 396
Composition: 100% Wool
Width: 153cm / 60.2inch
Colour:
Overall: Softened, silvery and quietly complex: a fusion of upland heather blooms and weathered stone underfoot. A true country style.
Shades: Muted heather grey dominates, broken with soft mauve, dusky pink and cool blue fibres spun within the yarn. These are element-exposed hues, evoking late season heather under diffused light, softened and silvery. An undertone of warm beige grounds and anchors the whole, referencing footpaths and exposed earth.
Design: Felted wool melton woven from all wool melange yarn, so the colour lives inside the spun fibre and reads as a soft optical blend rather than a pattern.
Properties:
Texture: The dense, no-snag surface of a properly felted wool, softly brushed with the original weave only faintly visible beneath.
Handle: Hard-wearing and dense, with the reassuring substance of a felted wool. Low fray, so raw edges can be a feature.
Drape: Weighty and structured, holding a clean line for outerwear and furnishing alike.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Outerwear: classic longline coats, capes, gilets and edge-to-edge jackets that make the most of the low-fray edge.
Patterns: Browse our Sewing Patterns for Heavy Wools & Coatings.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Bag making, caps, hats, neck warmers, mittens and wrist warmers.
Furnishings: Cushions, throws, blinds, seat pads and coordinating soft furnishings for a country scheme.
Upcycling: Appliqué, patchwork, doorstops, draught excluders and blankets. Wool of this quality reworks well.
