Mauve Mosaic Wool Tweed with Gold Lurex

The Mosaico Malva Wool Tweed fabric is a sophisticated and nuanced fashion fabric, featuring a rich combination of shades of mauve, pink, violet, blue, black and small multicoloured accents. Its weave forms an attractive checked pattern in which different yarns, thicknesses and textures are blended, creating the characteristic irregular and elegant raised texture of tweed.

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 Mosaico Malva design stands out for its rich colour palette and the fine topstitching and gold-toned Lurex yarn woven into the weft, which add subtle flashes of light and enhance the pattern without being overpowering. The blend of mauves, pinks and violets, with darker areas and touches of blue, results in a tweed with depth, texture and plenty of character.

It is a particularly attractive fabric for making up statement garments and co-ordinated outfits inspired by Chanel, although its variety of colours allows it to be easily combined with plain fabrics in black, navy blue, pink, mauve or violet.

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

Sewing tip: due to the open, irregular structure typical of tweed, 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 of fabric first, use a protective cloth and avoid high temperatures to preserve the wool, the texture and the gold Lurex yarn.
