Black Classic is a stunning rich black, virgin wool and cashmere blend fabric.
This exquisite woollen, cashmere blend fabric will work in everyone's wardrobe, black goes with everything!
Properties:
Woven by a renowned woollen Mill for highly respected designers. This first-rate fabric boasts a soft, supple, warm, strong and stable handle, which is also reassuringly drapey, with a subtle lustrous sheen (which begs to be stroked). This cosy fabric has lightly brushed surfaces (which is a characteristic of melton fabrics due to their surfaces being felted and milled). The slightly more brushed face side displays perfectly the result of added cashmere content - a deliciously soft, lightly rippled look, smooth feel and luxurious, subtle sheen.
Garment Suggestions:
Excellent for classic longline winter coats, capes, trench coats and jackets. If you prefer something less structured, go for unlined waterfall front-type coats and wraps. Black Classic will look stunning with a smart work-wear wardrobe and will also carry you through to the weekend to dress down with your jeans and winter boots! Create your slinky coat with this deliciously soft and cosy fabric to take you from the shadows to the city lights like a mysterious black panther.
Benefits of sewing with Wool! 🐑
We love wonderful wool! Why? Because it looks beautiful, well yes but did you know wool has a series of superpowers that make it the most incredible natural fibre, suitable for more garment suggestions and sewing inspiration than possibly any other?
Wool has a unique naturally crimped 3D structure which attributes to some brilliant properties & makes it a great fabric to wear throughout all the seasons.
Naturally Breathable: This amazing 3D crimped structure promotes air circulation allowing air to pass through the fabric, allowing for circulation and ventilation for your skin to breathe, keeping you cool.
Shower Resistant: Sheep naturally produce a waxy substance called lanolin. As sheep live outdoors, this naturally occurring wax helps to protect sheep from the elements, naturally shedding water & keeping them dry. This same property is retained within the wool fibres when spun into yarn.
Moisture Absorbing: The moisture-retentive superpowers of wool! It’s hydrophilic core gives wool the ability to wick away moisture keeping you dry and comfortable – this possibly one of our favourite properties because you can stay fresh when wearing wool, from autumn right through to spring!
