Description

A joyful explosion of colour, this beautifully soft open-weave tweed combines pink, cream, lilac and turquoise yarns to create a wonderfully textured and characterful cloth.

Made for a prestigious French fashion house, this fabric feels surprisingly lightweight despite its lofty appearance. The loose weave gives it softness, movement and a slightly sheer quality, making it ideal for relaxed layering pieces rather than heavily structured tailoring.

While it is a little more challenging to sew than a tightly woven fabric, the results are worth the effort. Think relaxed coatigans, unstructured jackets, statement overshirts, longline cover-ups and easy layering pieces that can be thrown on over almost anything. Its lightness means it can even be tied around the waist without feeling bulky.

For best results, consider lining key areas or using seam finishes that help stabilise the open weave.

A joyful open-weave tweed of pink, cream, lilac and turquoise yarns, soft and surprisingly light for 315gsm. It suits relaxed layers more than tight tailoring: jackets, coats, overshirts and waistcoats, though the loose weave is a bit trickier to sew.

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.
