This Sundown on Milltown is a heritage design, (named because the rows of chevrons look like herrings' bones) and natural yarn combination has a classic and smart look and sturdy feel. Smart and confident as the millstone buildings of mill towns, this fabric will create garments sure to stand the test of time.
Colour:
Sundown on Milltown woven with the signature grey/watercolour melange, warp yarn alongside a contrasting weft of beta carotene sun-infused pumpkin orange tones - yet mellow and peaceful as a blazing sunset over our blessed mill towns. Flecked with the signature 'neps' the colour of blood orange, lemon peel and cream. The combinations of yarns produce a stylish contrast defining this timeless design. This feel-good combination evokes comforting thoughts of blazing fires and warming autumnal treats as the sun goes down.
Sundown on Milltown has a sturdy and stable handle with a traditional yet soft country woollen feel. Wool fabrics will naturally regulate the wearer's temperature and protect from the outside elements. Naturally water repellent too, this fabric will also keep you dry as well as warm.
