Description

A wonderfully soft and relaxed wool suiting fabric in a beautiful blend of blue and grey, with a loosely woven construction that gives it a lovely natural character. Made from 100% wool, this cloth has an interesting, open weave, with fine blue and grey yarns interlacing to create a subtle textured appearance. The combination of colours gives it a soft, slightly marled effect, while the loose construction allows the fabric to fall naturally into gentle folds rather than holding a firm, tailored shape. It has a wonderfully easy, unstructured feel, making it quite different from a traditional crisp wool suiting.

At a generous 162cm wide, this is a lovely choice for relaxed jackets, softly shaped blazers, loose-fitting overshirts and casual layering pieces. Despite its open weave, the fabric is sufficiently opaque to be worn without a lining, making it particularly appealing for lightweight, unlined jackets that retain the natural softness and drape of the wool. It is best suited to garments with simple construction and a comfortable silhouette, rather than sharply tailored suits or structured jackets. A beautiful wool cloth with an understated, easy-going appeal, perfect for creating comfortable, relaxed garments with a little texture and character.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
