Luxurious, richly textured, and full of character, this wool, polyester, and Lurex tweed fabric brings a sophisticated designer-inspired touch to handmade garments. Crafted from a wool-rich blend of 76% wool, 18% polyester, and 6% Lurex, it features an intricate interplay of yarns in earthy shades of olive, brown, taupe, and ivory, enhanced by subtle metallic accents that catch the light beautifully.

The distinctive woven surface combines different yarn thicknesses and textures, creating a dimensional, slightly irregular tweed appearance. Small ivory yarn accents stand out against the deeper earthy tones, while delicate metallic threads add a refined shimmer without overpowering the fabric's natural character.

With its substantial 364 gsm weight, this wool-rich fabric combines the natural warmth and texture of wool with the added durability and shape retention of polyester. It offers beautiful structure while still forming soft, elegant folds. Its textured surface and sophisticated colour palette make it particularly well suited to tailored jackets, timeless outerwear, and statement pieces inspired by classic European fashion.

The combination of wool, polyester, and metallic Lurex creates a beautiful balance of warmth, durability, and understated elegance. Whether used for a cropped jacket with decorative buttons or a sophisticated coat, this distinctive tweed brings texture, character, and visual interest to every design.

Sewing Tips

Due to the textured construction, handle cut edges carefully and consider staystitching or overlocking to help prevent fraying. A suitable lining can provide a smooth interior finish, particularly for tailored jackets and coats. Test fusible interfacing and pressing techniques on a fabric scrap before beginning your project.

Care Instructions

Professional dry cleaning recommended to help preserve the wool fibres, dimensional weave, and metallic Lurex threads. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and direct high heat. Press gently using a pressing cloth, testing on a small area first to protect the textured surface.
