Specifications:
Weight: Medium / Heavy
GSM: 466
Composition: 100% Wool
Width: 154cm / 60.6inch
Colour:
Overall: A zingy lime green, a most unwool-like shade.
Shades: The brightest, mouth-watering shade of yellow-based green; it is positively fizzing. This colour-popping hue makes a big statement.
Design: A solid-hued, plain Melton, woven and then milled to give its felt-like finish.
Properties:
Texture: Closely woven, felted and lightly brushed to an almost blanket-like texture, with a cosy finish. Both sides have the felted surface, making them naturally water-repellent. Please note that the nap may be prone to pilling after frequent wear.
Handle: Stable both width and lengthways with a firm handle, and little fraying on the cut edges - a fabric that will do as it's told.
Drape: Hangs reassuringly, with enough weight and body for structured outerwear; this fabric will keep the elements out.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Imagine this lively green number fashioned into fun utility or bomber jackets with oversized pockets, or team it with a fun pink lining for the cutest child's duffle coat. Classic outerwear and hard-wearing separates: start with simple gilets, waistcoats or wrap skirts for a quick make, then move on to jackets, coats and capes, from classic pea coats and duffle coats to oversized statement coats. Shackets made up in this cloth team perfectly with country tweeds and staple denim. Historical costume makers and reenactors will find it ideal for period costume.
Patterns: Browse our Sewing Patterns for Heavy Wools & Coatings for coats and jackets, or our Sewing Patterns for Midweight Wools for waistcoats, skirts and pinafores, and our own Pattern Stash designs: try the Jemima Waistcoat and the Amelia Skirt for the perfect place to start.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Complete your outfits with matching accessories: hats, caps, neck warmers, mittens and wrist-warmers.
Furnishings: If clothes-making isn't your forte, this cloth is excellent for upholstery and soft furnishing projects such as rustic seat pads, boxed cushions and footstools. It is ideal for blankets and throws too.
Upcycling: Offcuts make an ideal base for 2D needle-felted projects such as bags, cushions and wall hangings, or personalise them with appliqué and team with your Yorkshire Tweed offcuts for a wonderful combination.
