Specifications:

Weight: Heavy / Medium

GSM: 656

Composition: 78% Virgin Wool & 22% Nylon

Width: 140cm / 55.1inch

Colour:

This quality felted wool and nylon blend melton comes to you in classic Navy blue. Classic for a reason, it goes with everything, conveys an air of serious style, and is (along with black) the basis of most wardrobes. The solid darkest Navy tone has a subtle lustre thanks to the quality yarns used in its manufacture. Create the classic overcoat, pea coat and so much more.

Properties:

Boasting a strong and stable hand and a reassuringly heavy drape quality. Felted wool fabrics of this weight are suitable for a multitude of uses and are perfect for hard-wearing coats because the wool can be steamed and manipulated for details, such as shaped sleeves etc.

The excellent stability and denseness make the heavy-weight fabric ideal for garments that need to be hardwearing- it quite literally, stays put! Satisfying to sew and is super cosy and warm thanks to wool's natural temperature-regulating properties. Felted wool fabrics are treated/finished with a felting machine which knits the fibres together to create a denser and more hard-wearing fabric.

With a very dense, closely compacted finish (approximately 3mm thick) with a lightly brushed soft feel - the original fine twill weave can just be seen, giving a light textural interest. The fabric is created from two layers of fabric that are densely felted together- producing an almost impenetrable finish suitable for the toughest wear.

Suggested Uses:

Traditional Duffle or overcoats are of course the perfect garment to make from this sturdy fabric, and the blank canvas, solid navy blue background allows plenty of room for creative freedom, allowing one to embellish with applique patches or needle felting (akin to Austrian folk styles)  

This heavy fabric is also ideal for donkey jacket styles with leather or PU yokes. Team your garments up with aged leather or PU-oilcloth, for a superb combination.

Hard-wearing shackets / jackets made up in Navy will team up perfectly with dark country tweeds as well as your staple denim pieces.

Historical costume makers and reenactors, this iconic fabric is perfect for a profusion of hard-wearing costumes!

Other Uses:

If clothes-making isn't your forte, use for upholstery and soft furnishing projects such as seat pads, boxed cushions and footstools. 

You could also appliqué with checked country tweeds and leathers for a very rural or gentlemen's club vibe! Combine with red and cream woollens for a rustic Austrian Tyrol interiors scheme.

This hard-wearing fabric is ideal for bag-making and craft projects too, door stops, draught excluders and more.

NB: the nap may be prone to pilling - ordering a sample is advised.
