Overview:
Inspired by traditional British confectionery, this four-colour bouclé tweed collection reinterprets heritage twill through a contemporary couture lens. Expressive bouclé yarns and alternating diagonals create textured surfaces with subtle running-stitch detail. Creamy neutrals combined with sugared pinks, buttery golds and citrus greens, each palette is balanced, wearable, and quietly nostalgic. Substantial yet soft, these tweeds are ideal for refined tailoring, statement outerwear, and enduring design.
The other colour ways are Strawberry Sugar, Barley Sugar & Strawberry Fudge.

Colour:
Shades: Alternating yarns in natural Sheep’s Fleece cream and zingy lime green create the characteristic twill diagonals, producing a lively, candy-stripe effect. Flashes of citrus brightness energise the surface, while the soft cream ground keeps the contrast controlled and wearable. Fresh yet nostalgic, the palette is redolent of heritage sweetshop favourites.
Design: Classic twill construction with cream warp and lime green weft forming a bold diagonal rhythm. The bouclé warp accentuates the twill geometry, introducing texture and animated surface movement while preserving a high-fashion tweed finish. The result is a confident, modern interpretation of heritage tweed, graphic, tactile, and couture-inspired.
Overall: This fabric merges traditional tweed language with a contemporary, confection-inspired palette. Couture style fancy tweed, with Parisian atelier style. Modern heritage and playful luxury with classic roots.
Use this colour way alongside the others in this collection: Strawberry Sugar, Barley Sugar & Strawberry Fudge.

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!
