Home- and hand-made gifts are the best kind. If you're planning on crafting fabric gifts for your loved ones this year then you haven't got much time left so you'd better get started soon! In this edition of the Croft Mill blog, we're going to be showcasing some of our favourite styles of British wool cloth, all lovingly made right here in the UK.

Our British wool cloth is guaranteed to be of absolutely superlative quality and is perfect for making all sorts of different garments from dresses and trousers to jackets, gilets and blazers. You can also use it with equal success to make stylish soft furnishings like blinds, curtains and cushions. However and whatever you craft, you'll love the beautiful texture and wide range of colours and patterns available.

The Croft Mill collection of British wool fabric includes:

  • Gamekeeper. This stunning flat tweed cloth boasts a checkered pattern that is at once subtle and striking. The check makes squares with sides of around 10cm, divided by smaller squares throughout the pattern. A delightful colour palette includes green, rust, white and dark/pale grey tones.
