Grey and Black Mosaic Wool Tweed with Gold Lurex

The Grey and Black Mosaic Wool Tweed fabric is a sophisticated, fashionable fabric with a rich variety of textures, characterised by an attractive check pattern in shades of grey, black and unbleached. The combination of different yarns and thicknesses creates a textured surface with an embossed, slightly irregular appearance, very typical of fancy tweeds.

Its composition of 65% wool, 30% polyester and 5% Lurex combines the characteristic look and warmth of wool with the durability of polyester and the shimmering touch of metallic fabric. It has a width of 150 cm, making it highly versatile for various fashion and garment-making projects.

The Grey and Black Mosaic design plays on the contrast between dark areas and different shades of grey, incorporating fine yarns and gold Lurex topstitching that run through the weft and add subtle flashes of light. The result is an elegant tweed full of character, where the metallic fabric enhances the texture without detracting from its sophisticated combination of neutral tones.

Its grey and black colour palette makes it a particularly versatile choice for creating Chanel-inspired garments, co-ordinated outfits or tailored designs. It pairs particularly well with plain fabrics in black, anthracite grey, unbleached ecru or even gold to achieve a more distinctive finish.

Styling ideas: Chanel-style jackets, blazers, jacket-and-skirt ensembles, waistcoats, skirts, dresses, lightweight coats and fashion accessories.

Sewing tip: due to tweed’s characteristic open and irregular structure, it is advisable to overcast or neaten the edges after cutting to prevent fraying. For jackets and structured garments, an inner lining fabric will help stabilise the fabric and achieve a more professional finish. When ironing, test on a remnant first, use a protective cloth and avoid high temperatures to preserve the wool, the texture and the gold Lurex yarn.
