Description
Celebrate the naturally warm shades found within our Romney flock with Tawny, a traditional textured twill fabric woven from 100% British wool.
The rich brown colouring is created by carefully blending naturally coloured Romney fleeces. The wool is not bleached or artificially dyed, allowing the authentic shades and character of the fibre to remain central to the finished cloth.
Its traditional twill construction creates a subtle diagonal weave and a beautifully structured handle, making Tawny suitable for a wide variety of sewing, clothing and textile projects.
