GSM: 339
Composition: 100% Wool

Introduction:
This excellent 100% wool twill coating fabric is woven from the softest yarns, so much so that we think there may be a touch of Alpaca yarn in it.
Colour:
Salt & Pepper has a combination of classic black and natural white yarns are woven in a classic and characteristic twill weave creating alternating black/white diagonals.
Properties:
This seriously cosy, lightly brushed and hard-wearing fabric is ideal for creating comforting layers with perennial appeal. Salt & Pepper is sturdy and stable across the width with a close twill weave that boasts a hard-wearing lightly brushed texture.
Garment Suggestions:
When draped it has a reassuringly medium/heavy drape quality perfect for cocoon coats, slouchy oversized coats, pea coats, capes and loose cardigan style jackets. Salt & Pepper multi-tonal effect is similar to that of traditional black denim, therefore making it an excellent choice for utility-style retro or vintage clothing such as denim style jackets with a blouson/battle-dress style or the excellent current trend for overshirts or shackets. All are excellent garment choices and will keep you warm too, thanks to the deliciously soft and warming wool content.
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!
