Colour:
Shades: Woven in a heath-and-water-inspired palette, this plaid reflects the meeting of moorland earth and flowing stream. Rust-bracken and melanged heather-hued yarns form the foundational checks, grounding the fabric in warm, autumnal tones with softened grey undertones reminiscent of clouded skies over the moor.
Horizontal accent bands of kingfisher-blue-green ripple across the surface, creating subtle colour shifts where they intersect with rust and heather, echoing the reflected light along a quiet brook. Fine overchecks of spruce green and straw beige add definition and structure, recalling vegetation and sunlit highlights across the heath.
Design: Traditional Yorkshire tweed plaid in twill construction, with layered warp and weft combinations producing nuanced texture, depth, and subtle movement. Accent bands interact gently with the base checks, echoing natural moorland patterning.
Overall: Heritage Yorkshire tweed enriched with a contemporary, nature-inspired accent. A plaid that evokes waterways, wildlife, and open moorland. Couture-informed colour layering with timeless, understated expression.
Use this colour way alongside the others in this collection: Moss Moor Plaid & Grass Moor Plaid.
Properties:
Texture: Rustic yet refined, producing a slightly soft but structured feel, ideal for tactile appreciation.
Handle: A super malleable and stable hand with structure in the length and width, and a generous bias ease.
Drape: Together, these properties create a fabulous all-rounder fabric that boasts a drape you can trust to form pretty gathers, crisp pleats, frills, flounces, and ruffles.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Perfect for fashioning classic outerwear and hard-wearing separates. Start with simple, stylish waistcoats, pencil skirts or A-line skirts and work up to statement jackets, stylish cropped coats and structured or soft tailored dresses.
Add a complementary lining for garments that will soon become perennial favourites. Tried and tested, these medium-weight materials have a variety of stylish and practical uses, from clothing and accessories to home furnishings and beyond.
Patterns: Consider patterns such as the Cordelia Trousers, the Jemima Waistcoat, the Amelia Skirt, the Ilford Jacket, the Kyoto Jacket, the Lyon Jacket, The Blazer, The Coat and Verona Jacket.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Complete your outfits with hats, caps, neck warmers, mittens and wrist-warmers. Coordinate with matching handbags, the Frame Bag with this fabric will create a stylish accessory that will be reached for time and time again.
