Description
Celebrate the natural shades of our Romney flock with Marsh Fern, a traditional textured twill fabric woven from 100% British wool.
The grey colour is achieved by carefully blending naturally coloured Romney fleeces rather than bleaching or artificially dyeing the fibre. The result is a characterful grey cloth with subtle tonal depth and an authentic connection to the sheep that produced it.
The traditional twill construction gives Marsh Fern its distinctive diagonal weave and structured handle, making it suitable for a wide range of sewing, clothing and craft projects.
