- Shetland Houndstooth Flannel - We have fallen in love and it's with the luxuriously soft cotton flannel. Mimicking the look of wool houndstooth tweeds, this fabric is yarn-dyed, with amazing depth to the weave. With a tailored drape, it holds its shape well and presses just as nicely. Brushed for softness, it will become a lovely midweight jacket, perfect for fall weather or warmer climes.
- Camel Diamond Cotton Jacquard - Mimicking the now famous look of Merchant and Mills jacquards, this cotton is a looker. In a warm, neutral beige, this layered cotton has a jacquard weave that gives it a quilted look and feel. The reverse is a gauzy cotton, there is no batting in the middle of this cloth, the inside is made up of a series of thicker yarns which gives it the quilted feel. Warm but airy, this fabric is absolutely made for this pattern!
- Eucalyptus Infinity Recycled Flannel - Look quickly, and you'd be absolutely certain this heavyweight flannel was a wool coating. With the look of melton wool, but the touchably soft feel of a brushed, cotton flannel, this fabric has everything you want for a coating fabric. Plus, the color is stunning. An sagey, minty, eucalyptus green is cool and calming. An unexpected breath of fresh air for your wardrobe.
