Overview:

Colour:

Overall: The quiet contrast of charcoal and mist gives a sharp, understated finish that flatters relaxed silhouettes.
Properties:
Texture: Superfine and smooth to the touch with a soft, malleable knit surface.
Handle: Lightweight and slinky with strong retentive stretch across the width and natural ease along the length.
Drape: Drapes beautifully with fluid movement, best for loose, hanging shapes rather than close-fitted styles. Note: lightly translucent against light or pale skin.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Ideal for flowing T-shirts, tunics, loose dresses, wide-leg trousers and lightweight layers that fall away from the body. Avoid skin-tight styles such as leggings, where the translucency would show.

Furnishings: Less suited to furnishings, as the lightweight drape and stretch favour garment use.

Yorkshire Independent Clothing Manufacturer
This collection of dressmaking fabrics has been sourced from a Yorkshire clothing manufacturer, with 30 years experience producing quality, British-made fashion garments, who has now decided to retire.
With their strong background in knitwear, this range is led by an excellent selection of knitted jersey fabrics, along with a well-balanced mix of woven dressmaking material, including denim. They were originally produced for UK garment manufacturing, and so show the hallmarks of commercial-standard cloth - having good weight, a dependable handle and a well-finished feel. These are fabrics designed for commercial clothing production and will enable you to give your creations the ‘high street label’ and professionally-made look, wearing well over time and after repeated washing.
