This is a lovely wool blend novelty weave from France with an upscale casual look. It is a light and airy fabric with a somewhat loose weave, a teeny bit sheer. Nice drape but with a bit of crispness, so it would make a gorgeous jacket or "cardigan" (in quotes because it's a woven, not a knit) to wear with denim or twill. You can dress it up a bit too, with some fancy buttons and a black skirt! Has a lovely crosshatch pattern in rust (17-1532) and black. The rust yarns are a bit fuzzy while the black threads are very thin, creating a textured surface where the black is recessed. Dry cleaning is recommended.
