Japanese worsted, yarn-dyed gingham.

Composition: 100% Worsted Wool

Width: 135 - 137cm

Weight: 115gsm

Colour: Tide features a soft oaty, beige base with warm natural undertones, gently crossed with subtle white threads to add texture and depth to the weave. Four coloured stripes run both vertically and horizontally to create the check, featuring a clean black, mid-grey, deep red and rich royal blue. Each stripe measures approximately 6mm wide and is spaced 6mm apart. The light neutral base softens the boldness of the coloured stripes, creating a balanced check with a timeless, heritage-inspired feel. The slightly open weave enhances the organic appearance, giving the fabric a relaxed, understated character.

Quality: This is a lightweight wool weave with a soft, cosy feel while remaining naturally breathable and comfortable to wear. It has a gently brushed finish that enhances its warmth and softness without adding unnecessary bulk, making it an ideal fabric for those in-between seasons.

The fabric is woven from fine worsted wool yarn, where the wool fibres are carefully combed before spinning to create a smoother, stronger yarn with a refined yet beautifully natural texture. The slightly open weave gives the fabric a soft, airy appearance and a subtle transparency, although it isn't overly sheer and many garments won't require a lining.
