Rustic Ashen Check
Chunky Donegal Basket Weave Irish Wool
Lose yourself in the labyrinthine beauty of Rustic Ashen Check, a stunning Irish-woven all-wool creation where cooling ash-grey tones and natural sandstone Donegal flecks meet in perfect harmony. This chunky basket weave fabric evokes the artistry of a stone maze drawn in yarn, its textured threads weaving rhythmically under and over one another to create depth & texture.
Crafted from heavier gauge all-wool yarns, this fabric has a wonderfully tactile, rustic handle that’s both reassuringly weighty and naturally draping. Its semi-loose weave forms soft, pocket-like textures while maintaining good stability and a natural bias ease.

Garments & Uses
Rustic Ashen Check is the perfect choice for couture-inspired tweedy styles, think edge-to-edge jackets, statement coats, and classic silhouettes with a designer twist. Take a cue from the French fashion houses of the ’50s who made this textured look iconic, or modernise it with velvet trims and fringed selvedge details for an artisan finish.
Its substantial weight and texture lend themselves beautifully to ponchos, capes, wraps, and blanket-style coats, where comfort meets sophistication. With a little interlining, this fabric transforms into truly catwalk-worthy creations that will stand the test of time.
Beyond garments, Rustic Ashen Check brings a touch of rustic elegance to interiors, ideal for creating decorative cushions, cosy throws, or tactile home accents that exude warmth and craftsmanship.
