Sherwood Wool Loden in Grey, Red and Camel Checks

The Sherwood Wool Loden Checked Fabric is a classically inspired winter fabric, featuring an attractive check pattern in shades of anthracite grey, brick red, camel and beige. A combination of warm colours against a dark background, reminiscent of traditional British-style fabrics, lending it a distinctly autumnal character.

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 coat fabric compared to other thick wools and tweeds, perfect for making warm garments without adding excessive bulk.

The fabric features two sides with different finishes: one has 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 outer side according to the desired finish and even combine both in garment details.

Its multicoloured checked pattern printed on a dark grey background is perfect for autumn and winter garments with an elegant, country-style aesthetic. It is particularly attractive for making up lightweight coats, jackets and overshirts, although it also offers plenty of possibilities for skirts, waistcoats and accessories.

Style ideas: coats, jackets, overshirts, capes, waistcoats, winter skirts, dresses, bags, hats and other fashion accessories.

Sewing tip: before cutting, decide which side of the fabric you will use as the outer side and lay out all the pieces facing the same direction. As this is a geometric design, it is advisable to allow a small extra margin of fabric to 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.
