Introduction:

Micro Grid - Super Soft Virgin Wool Flannel is suitable for a wide range of seriously smart or smart/casual clothing depending on the patterns and styles you choose to create and has a designer pedigree. Originally made by Italian craftsmen for the same designer as our SOS Collection it is equally stunning and perfect for cross-seasonal wear throughout the year - after all, wool is naturally temperature-regulating!

Properties:

Versatile multi-tones of grey are predominant throughout this first-rate Italian woven 100% wool flannel. Woven in a tiny micro-grid with alternating smoke grey and black, luxuriously soft, lustrous yarns this produces an alternative to your usual solid grey. 

Micro Grid - Super Soft Wool Flannel has a super soft, brushed (lightly felted), cosy feel with a stable handle and delicious drape that will keep you cosy and comfortable while helping you to maintain an air of relaxed sophistication.

This classic woollen fabric shouldn’t only be consigned to a gentlemen’s wardrobe, it has a wonderful soft drape quality that is also perfect for ladies’ clothing.  It's a great all-rounder to put to use for a host of sewing projects.
