Cranberry Rainboasts a closely packed warp of light-marled grey yarn- the colour of a mizzled rain-filled sky sets the base of this first-rate Donegal Yorkshire Tweed. A rich cranberry red yarn with tiny (but colourful) Donegal pops of orange, royal blue and pink is woven throughout the weft creating a fabulous contrast to the mizzled rain-grey accentuating the traditional nailhead design and producing an overall seasonally warming hue - perfect for brightening the dreary days of A/W.
This heritage weave (named because of the small rectangular picks- groups of twinned yarns) looks like old-fashioned nail heads. The traditional weave (similar to basket weave) and superb yarn combination have an honest, hardwearing look yet soft and warming feel - like the Yorkshire men and women who have been making these woollen textiles for generations.
Boasting a traditional wool tweed feel, that is both stable and hard-wearing, this closely woven woollen wonder has a soft, lightly-brushed feel and medium-heavy drapey handle that will make wonderful winter coats. Also try fashioning capes, wraps and coatigans too.Certain to brighten those dull autumn/winter days!
Donegal Tweeds are always a firm favourite for country outerwear and will work beautifully for jackets, overcoats and pea coats. Alternatively, go for something less formal and try poncho, wrap and cape styles.
A matching waistcoat and skirt will become priceless additions to your wardrobe. Great to throw on with your favouriteroll-neck top or Liberty shirt (or even a crisp, clean Italian poplin), withchunky tights and winter boots.
Complete the ensemble with your own bespoke, matching accessories! Hats, caps, ear warmers, scarves and bags are just a few ideas.
