Sherwood Wool Loden in Brown and Green Checks

The Sherwood Wool Loden fabric is a warm, classic and timeless fabric, featuring an elegant check pattern in shades of chocolate brown, forest green and camel, with subtle unbleached details. Its range of natural, autumnal colours is reminiscent of traditional British-inspired fabrics, making it a particularly attractive choice for autumn and winter garments.

With a width of 150 cm and a composition of 70% wool and 30% polyester, it combines the warmth and characteristic look of wool with the durability and stability provided by polyester. It is a relatively fine winter fabric compared to other thick wools and tweeds, ideal for making up warm garments without adding excessive bulk.

The fabric features two sides with different finishes: one side offers a softer, more pleasant surface, whilst the reverse side shows the fabric’s structure and yarn more clearly. This feature allows you to choose the main side depending on the project and even make use of both surfaces to create original details in your garments.

The classic brown and green check pattern is particularly versatile for making up lightweight coats, jackets, overshirts, capes, waistcoats, skirts and winter dresses. Its combination of earthy tones also makes it an excellent choice for seasonal accessories with a warm and elegant aesthetic.

Ideas for use: coats, jackets, overshirts, capes, waistcoats, winter skirts, dresses, bags, hats and other fashion accessories.

Sewing tip: before cutting, decide which side of the fabric will be used as the outer side and ensure all pieces are facing the same direction. To achieve a neat finish, it is advisable to allow a small extra margin of fabric and match the checks on the sides, sleeves, pockets and other visible areas. Always carry out a test ironing first and preferably use a protective cloth to preserve the finish of the wool.
