Turquoise Stirling Wool Loden

The Stirling Turquoise Wool Loden fabric is a warm, cosy fabric featuring an original Scottish tartan design in shades of turquoise blue, black, green and unbleached, complemented by small yellow and red details that enhance the pattern. A vibrant combination full of character that brings the traditional tartan aesthetic up to date with a particularly attractive colour palette.

Its composition of 60% wool and 40% polyester combines the warmth and characteristic look of wool with the durability and stability provided by polyester. It has a width of 150 cm, a highly versatile measurement for various autumn and winter fashion and garment-making projects.

The Stirling Turquoise design stands out for its prominent use of turquoise blue, which contrasts with large areas of black and is complemented by unbleached green and ecru lines, as well as small splashes of colour. The result is a British-inspired tartan with a cooler, more contemporary feel, perfect for making up garments that combine tradition and originality.

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

Sewing tip: when working with tartan with a distinct pattern size, it’s best to allow for a little extra fabric to ensure the printed pattern matches up correctly. Use the black stripes and light lines as a guide when laying out the pattern pieces, and try to match the pattern on the front panels, sides, sleeves and pockets. Carry out a test ironing first and preferably use a protective woollen cloth to preserve the finish of the wool.
