This first-rate wool coating fabric was originally made for a top British designer. It was made in Italy by master weavers in a double-cloth twill, dual layers give a soft and almost padded feel. Wholesome Green - Padded Wool Twill is a lovely gentle and wholesome soft khaki/olive green hue. Its soft green tone and cosy feel evoke images of warming and wholesome winter vegetable soup and comforting meals awaiting the family after wintery walks.
Boasting a soft, non-itchy, brushed wool feel, both sides of Wholesome Green show off its classic twill weave, with the fine diagonal lines that subtly catch the light, oozing classic simplicity. The face side is more brushed than the reverse.
This high-quality, wool fabric is strong in both width and length and has a reassuringly heavy drape quality perfect for outerwear such as a jacket, a coat or a cape.
Ideal garments to make are classic overcoats, cocoon coats, pea coats, simple but stylish capes, classic heavy military great-coat styles and simple neat collarless jackets. Keep your design choices simple and let Wholesome Green showcase its simple elegance.
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!
