Colour:
Shades: A beautifully pulled-together palette awaits within this Wool Tweed Check. Warm camel beige forms the grounding base, accented with a windowpane check of alternating navy blue and heather purple horizontal lines, while vertical lines of navy blue and vintage rose pink introduce a subtle edge of femininity. Understated yet expressive, this palette is effortlessly stylish and highly adaptable across many aesthetics.
Design: Neat & Chic Windowpane is a finely twill-woven, small-scale rectangular windowpane check, where staggered twill detailing adds discreet texture and visual depth. The appearance is very similar to a tattersall check.
Overall: A quality, all-wool tweed with a diminutive scale and refined character, Neat & Chic Windowpane is perfect for interpretation across a wide variety of styles. Equally at home as a neat two-piece suit, a bias-cut Vivienne Westwood–inspired dress, or a crisp Quant-style silhouette straight from the Swinging Sixties, this fabric lives up to its name: perfectly neat, perfectly chic.
Properties:
Texture: Soft and lightly brushed, creating a refined tweed texture that tempers wool’s natural robustness with welcome softness.
Handle: Closely woven from fine woollen yarns, offering excellent stability in both width and lengthwise directions, with a pleasing natural bias ease.
Drape: Soft, malleable and gently cocooning when used en masse, making it ideal for bias-cut garments and fluid, flattering shapes.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Ideal for dresses, skirts, trousers, shirts, blouses, lightweight jackets, overshirts and relaxed tailoring. Equally suited to layering pieces and softly structured garments, this fabric pairs beautifully with clean, simple silhouettes that allow the colour and texture to shine. Use it for standout statement pieces or build it into a thoughtful capsule wardrobe for warmth, polish and longevity.
Patterns: We recommend patterns such as the Amelia Skirt, the Juno Trousers, the Cordelia Trousers and the Dawn Jeans
Other Uses:
Accessories: Ideal for coordinating accessories, including scarves, fabric belts, soft bags, hats, caps and scrunchies, adding cohesion and style to handmade wardrobes.
Upcycling: A brilliant scrap-saver, perfect for elbow patches, appliqué scenes or saving in your stash for rag-rugging and future creative projects.
