Alba White Unbleached Wool Tweed

The Alba Wool Tweed fabric is an elegant and luminous fabric in shades of white and unbleached ecru, characterised by a rich, irregular texture that adds depth and character to the surface. The combination of different light shades creates a delicate and sophisticated effect, perfect for making up fashionable garments inspired by both classic and contemporary styles.

Its composition of 65% wool and 35% polyester combines the warmth and characteristic look of wool with the durability and stability provided by polyester. It has a width of 150 cm and stands out for its soft handle, which is pleasant and particularly suitable for clothing.

The Alba design plays with yarns of different thicknesses and subtle raised textures in shades of white and unbleached ecru, creating the characteristic texture of tweed and a beautiful handcrafted effect. Its light colour enhances the fabric’s structure and makes it a particularly elegant choice for Chanel-style jackets, co-ordinated outfits and tailored-inspired garments.

Suggested uses: jackets, blazers, light coats, two-piece suits, waistcoats, skirts, dresses, trousers and fashion accessories.

Sewing tip: due to the structure of the tweed, it is advisable to handle the pieces with care after cutting and to overcast or neaten the edges to prevent fraying. For jackets and structured garments, adding a lining fabric will help achieve a more professional and comfortable finish. Always carry out a test ironing first and use a protective cloth to care for the wool and preserve the fabric’s raised texture.
