Italian fancy tweed with silver metallic 'dusting'
contents: wool/visc/poly
width: 57"
origin: Italy
A stunning fancy weave wool blend basketweave tweed just in with a new Fall 2014 lot from Italy, which has far more beauty and texture in real life. It has a mix of thicker and thinner textured yarns in a gorgeous blend of earthy colors: light browns, sagey green-gray, stone, putty, elephant, etc. (PANTONE 16-5804, 18-0617, 19-0405, etc.). On the face it has a silver metallic lamination that dusts the fibers to create a mica-like sparkle effect. So beautiful!! It's soft, not itchy, and it has a right and wrong side, but the wrong side is pretty too! Medium weight suiting with a malleable drape with body. Make a beautiful French tweed jacket, suit, skirt, lighter weight coat, etc. Dry cleaning recommended.
