Colour:
Colour: Soft and simple like its sweet and comforting namesake, Vanilla Fudge is a fashion-staple neutral with a warm, golden caramel hue. Its indulgent rich creaminess is grounded in timeless elegance and clean, simple sophistication. The versatility of this glorious fabric means it will look sublime with any other colour yet never be overwhelmed.
Delicious Ensembles: Camel tones are a key component of classic styles, leaning into creams, taupes, and beiges. An indispensable colour in autumnal palettes; think silk shirts, tan wool trousers/skirt and the classic camel coat. Vanilla Fudge is perfect for softening the brighter colour choices in this collection, gently toning down the brighter offerings’ exuberance. Team with all its Delicious Delight counterparts for a sweet shop medley.
Design: This felted wool melton fabric is created using highly twisted, medium-gauge lambswool yarns, woven with a traditional twill weave that gives a characteristic diagonal line formation. Upon weaving, the fabric is then 'finished' and felted, creating a closely woven, dense appearance where the detail of the diagonal twill lines is obscured with a pleasing, washed, and lightly brushed finish.
Style: The perfect antidote to dreary winter palettes. Embrace sweet, uplifting shades even in the cooler months, after all, making your own self-bespoke wardrobe and/or interiors is about curating exactly what you want, wherever you want it. Whether your taste leans towards timeless classics or contemporary fashion, this vibrant palette offers versatile options for every style.

Properties Overview
Welcome to a world of colour and comfort with The Heart of Huddersfield Delicious Delights Twill Melton, a collection that feels like opening a box of cherished confectionery, each one rich, irresistible, and entirely guilt-free. Inspired by childhood favourites, these sweet treats conjure a sense of joyful indulgence while offering practical luxury: pure lambswool cloth, rich in colour and character, ready to be transformed into garments you’ll cherish. These are not just boldly coloured fabrics; they are a woollen way to draw the eye in admiration and give the wearer added confidence and a real uplift in winter’s depressing depths.
The soft face of the fabric reveals its secret at first touch, a brushed lambswool hand that feels tender against the skin, lit with a delicate silky sheen. The weave dances subtly, suggesting patterns that intrigue the eye, offering depth and charm without ever becoming coarse.
There is strength beneath the softness, this is a fabric that feels both substantial and inviting with a reassuring density, while an underlying pliancy ensures it moulds with ease, making construction straightforward and creative techniques – from topstitching to appliqué – a delight. With every cut and seam, This cloth is ‘perfectly behaved’ and trustworthy when cut, whether being machine stitched or hand embroidered.
And then, the drape - graceful, enveloping, indulgent. These lambswool meltons do not simply hang; they embrace, wrapping the wearer in a cocoon of colour and comfort. With a steady, confident drape, they fall gracefully, lending structure to coats and jackets while retaining enough softness for unstructured silhouettes. Combine this with a palette of bold, spirited hues, and you have a collection that encourages both confident self-expression and timeless style.
