Perfectly Imperfect Notice:
This cloth was saved from a West Yorkshire woollen manufacturer, where it would otherwise have been destroyed. Rescuing good cloth from waste is what Fabworks is for. This piece carries stripey warp lines running down the length of the cloth. They are most apparent across large flat panels and in strong light, and least apparent in gathered, pleated or draped styles. Thoughtful pattern placement will work around the most obvious of them. It is offered at a reduced price for this reason. We strongly advise ordering a sample, or a 0.5m Cut Length, to inspect the cloth in detail before committing to a project. View the other photographs to see the fabric closely and know exactly what you are buying.
Colour:
Sweet and indulgent, yet chic and sophisticated. This solid, warm beige hue has a tasteful style, with a certain understated and elegant aesthetic.
Properties:
A clean, smooth feel, with a stable and hard wearing hand plus a delicious drape that showcases a lustrous sheen and highlights the fine diagonals of the twill weave. Versatile enough to keep you cosy and comfortable while maintaining an air of relaxed sophistication.
Garment Suggestions:

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!
