Blue Skies Over The City - Worsted Check is woven from a cool palette of industrial grey cityscape hues, with a pop of blue sky to lighten the mood. The super fine over-check is woven from fine white, sky blue and black yarns that sit perfectly against a super smart steel grey.

This first rate suiting fabric has a stable handle both length and width wise, and featuring an exquisite minimal crease drape quality too. Blue Skies Over The City is perfect for a plethora of sewing room uses. Suiting fabrics are not simply for suits, of course!

If suit making isn't your forte, fear not! Put this superb fabric to use for less formal, but equally smart outfits, such as shirts, tunics, pinafore dresses, Ralph Lauren style jumpsuits and skirts too. The Merchant & Mills 'Shirt Dress', 'Trapeze Dress and Fibre Mood's Leah will look stunning in this fabric. There's also a simple drawstring-waist trouser pattern too (The 101 Trouser), which will work perfectly.

There are many other patterns available suitable to use with Blue Skies Over the City, think clean simple lines and unfussy cuts!

Why choose wool fabric?

Benefits of sewing with Wool! 🐑

We love wonderful wool! Why? Because it looks beautiful, well yes but did you know wool has a series of superpowers that make it the most incredible natural fibre, suitable for more garment suggestions and sewing inspiration than possibly any other?

Wool has a unique naturally crimped 3D structure which attributes to some brilliant properties & makes it a great fabric to wear throughout all the seasons.

Naturally Breathable: This amazing 3D crimped structure promotes air circulation allowing air to pass through the fabric, allowing for circulation and ventilation for your skin to breathe, keeping you cool.

Shower Resistant: Sheep naturally produce a waxy substance called lanolin. As sheep live outdoors, this naturally occurring wax helps to protect sheep from the elements, naturally shedding water & keeping them dry. This same property is retained within the wool fibres when spun into yarn.

Moisture Absorbing: The moisture-retentive superpowers of wool! It’s hydrophilic core gives wool the ability to wick away moisture keeping you dry and comfortable – this possibly one of our favourite properties because you can stay fresh when wearing wool, from autumn right through to spring!
