Rustic Smoked Herringbone Coating is a soft, nubby, textured wool and polyester blend herringbone tweed that has a large chunky weave and is perfect for coat making and cosy soft furnishings. The warp of this woollen blend is formed from a smokey beige tone, with the weft yarns providing a subtle contrast in smokey brown, together producing a truly rustic looking fabric with a sturdy and reliable look and feel.

Boasting a soft and drapey handle and good stability width wise and slight ease on the length (although with good bias stretch) Rustic Smoked Herringbone Coating is perfect for projects such as ponchos and wraps/capes where you want to feel enveloped in something that will keep all the elements out. Try a softly falling waterfall front cardigan or coat and hand fray the edges for a very bohemian style.

If your sewing skills are more advanced this will make excellent over-sized coats reminiscent of the ones worn in the '80s and '90s - those that have made a come back recently. If dressmaking isn't your forte then put this warming rustic fabric to use for quick make throws and cushions with hand frayed edges.
