This heavyweight wool is the most complimentary fusion of grape, rust and aubergine tones, there's a hint of polyester in it as well, which only makes for a stronger and more practical fabric.

There's a soft and very woolly feel to it, along with an amazing texture thanks to its basket-like weave construction. Made up from a four pointed star pattern in these three fab colours, coming together neatly like a big woolly jigsaw! With a heavy but firm handle this striking fabric has got you covered, quite literally! Perfect for warm woolly outerwear such as boxy jackets and overcoats. It would most striking as a timeless throw-on cape, the weight will be most reassuring. The texture in this star weave also makes it a great choice for a snappy two piece suit - skirt and jacket mix. Add chunky tights and winter boots and you're good to go!

Alternatively take the time to hand fringe this retro fashioned fabric and create yourself a stunning pop over throw, wrap or poncho. Perhaps a Tweedy handbag to match? If garment-making simply isn't your thing why not make some striking cushions to match the throws?
