Iconic British Tweed fabric. Exceptional quality 100% pure wool - you can just feel the quality at a touch, the ooo's and aaah's of fabric. An excellent range including traditional tweeds and tartans, herringbone, houndstooth and more. Fab sewing quality with a stable weave.

Photographed fabric is folded many times. Do check with your tape measure that this is wide enough for your needs, there are different width pieces available. We sometimes make up a wider piece of fabric from the narrow pieces to create interesting long stripes and then cut out our pattern after (making sure to stabilise cut seams in the sewing process). See description for further info.
