Colour:
Teal Paragon - Luxury Yorkshire Herringbone Tweed is created by placing closely packed warp yarns (in a subtle melange colourway) consisting of a blue/grey (warp) base with natural loden green, and very subtle warm brown-heather touches. The melange yarns used in these tweeds are so nature-inspired that mother nature is truly reflected in their palette. To create the contrast chevrons for the herringbone, the richest, jewel-toned teal- the paragon of colour akin to the iridescent green feathers of Mallard ducks and jewel-like beetles - is placed across the weft. The combination makes for a classic medium/large herringbone of seriously indulgent yet versatile blue-green hues.
Properties:
Teal Paragon is extra soft with a malleable, lightly brushed, cosy and comforting feel, and not your usual country tweed. Stable yet extra soft & with a heavier more supple drapey hand than our other Yorkshire Tweed fabrics, this luxurious tweed is perfect for a multitude of uses. Place this next to your skin and be cossetted by the superior quality yarns and expert weaving techniques of Yorkshire's finest.
