Colour:
Sizzled Pink boasts a scorching Fuchine pink tone. The colour is so hot it's almost sizzling! Phew!
Properties:
This super cosy, brushed fabric is the tonic to your A/W wardrobe. A pop of colour as hot as a tropical holiday, combined with the comforting warmth of natural wool and mohair.
Sizzled Pink is created with a base of fine white acrylic yarn creating the base for finely felted woolly fibres of the pink mohair blend. Seriously soft lambswool and mohair superfine yarns are knitted above the white base and then densely felted to create a coat-weight fabric that boasts excellent malleability and a drapey handle plus, natural( knitted) ease widthwise.
Garment Suggestions:
Create super versatile garments with that pop of cheerful colour we need in the dull A/W months.
Great projects to make include oversized coats, hoodies, bomber jackets, overshirts, worker-style jackets, Gilets, Pea coats and neat boxy jackets.
Other Uses:
Don't be limited to creating clothes, put this superior quality knitted and felted woollen to use as throws, bedspreads and cushions. Cut to size, tidy up the edges and it's ready!
Sourced As Deadstock:
This fabric is from the Fabworks x Avoca collaboration for A/W 2024, that features a collection of deadstock luxury dressmaking fabrics & trimmings.
Delivered to Fabworks straight from the Avoca garment makers, this fabric has very limited stock availability and cannot be repeated once sold out. If you've spotted something you like, don't leave it too long before ordering!
Fabworks x Avoca
Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!
The working relationship between Fabworks and Avoca blossomed over the next few years and allowed Fabworks to develop its focus on high end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and away from the lower end of the textiles market.
Four years and several thousand metres of fabric later, Fabworks took a bigger step than ever before, and collaborated with Avoca to commission its own range of Irish-made pure wool fabrics which marked the launch of Fabworks Online, November 16th 2015. This was a defining moment for Fabworks, being the very first collection of fabrics that we commissioned ourselves. With a range of herringbones in iconic Avoca colour-rich palettes, this was Fabworks’ first taste of proper manufacturing in the 21st century.
