Colour:
A cool almost misty grey melange yarn creates the warp and the perfect base for complementary weft yarns of a solid blue-teal hue. This perennially popular shade is inspired by nature's deep-water lakes and tarns and by the bird whose plumage inspired its name, the beautiful Teal Duck. The combination of the icy cool grey warp melange yarn and dreamy teal weft evokes images of the mesmerising patterns formed on the surface of frozen tarns - the chevrons of our weave akin to icy shards at the lake's edge.
Properties:
This is a closely woven, versatile all-wool fabric with a medium weight and a gentle woolly feel, boasting a stable handle and soft enough drape to be trusted to form pretty gathers and serious pleats. Perfect for a plethora of sewing room projects, this classic herringbone will always do as it's told. Wool of this kind is easy to sew and will stand the test of time.
Woollen fabric has been used in garment manufacturing for generations. Did you know the first recorded piece of woollen clothing was produced over 10,000 years ago? Our range of Yorkshire-made tweeds are timeless classics. Their medium weight allows for exceptional versatility in clothing, craft, and light soft furnishings.
