This wonderfully deep, rich mossy green seems very plain until you examine the varying shades of lime, grass, damp moss and forest green flecks that are interspersed and woven into the fabric. The Donegal flecks in the yarn help create this classic design and sit perfectly alongside the subtle charcoal warp to give these soft underlying mossy tones and classic herringbone design. This 100% new wool composition makes it a lightly textured, medium/heavy weight fabric, with a firm handle and good drape quality.
This tweed will take you anywhere from office formality to the great outdoors - a tailored jacket for work or a traditional look for country attire. The singing colours dotted throughout the classic Herringbone reinvent the traditional feel of Tweed with a contemporary twist. Historical re-enactors rejoice - this timeless fabric is the perfect addition for your theatrical wardrobe!
The beauty of this green palette is that it can stand alone or act as a brilliant contrast to other wools in the Fabworks Exclusive Avoca Wool collection. Redcurrant Revelry for example complements the mossy shade excellently. The drape and texture of Rich Mossy Green lends itself to both structured and unstructured garments. Experiment for yourself with an asymmetric style and pleat this fabric to create an unstructured dress or kilt-style skirt. Match it up with a handmade bag, beret or scarf for that perfect winter outfit.
These greens will match beautifully with almost any interiors project - scatter cushions and matching blinds, small accessories such as draught excluders and door stoppers. Or why not fringe the ends to make your own wonderful cosy throws?
