Italian tweedy boucle' wool blend woven with metallic glaze

From Italian designer deadstock, this stunning tweedy wool blend boucle' features an intricate basketweave with metallic overprinting on just one side. It is a suiting weight with a soft hand and lovely drape with body. It has a partially open weave between the thicker yarns which makes this amazing fabric semi-opaque. The colors are a range of earthy tones including granite green, dark charcoal, acorn, sand, olive and winter white (PANTONE 18-5606, 17-0517, 18-1033, 13-1018, etc.). The side with overprinting is a shiny metallic silver when it catches the light. Use either side as the face, or a combination. The mix of thicker and thinner yarns create a beautiful cloth that can be fringed. It is perfect for a French Chanel-style jacket, suit, skirt, etc. Sophisticated and stunning! Dry cleaning recommended.
