From designer deadstock and made in Italy, this is a wonderfully soft mid-weight suiting with a small-scale check design. A yarn-dyed woven fabric that is fully opaque and with substance but not bulky. It is stable in both directions with a nice and soft, lightly brushed surface. The mini-check design (0.25″ vertical repeat) features a rosy brick color along with charcoal gray and cloud white, and it looks the same on both sides. This fabric is wonderful to work with, as it does not easily fray and does not require lining. Reference our free tutorial by Kathryn Brenne on binding and seamwork for an unlined jacket HERE. Make a fantastic jacket, suit, vest, fitted dress or skirt, warm trousers, etc. Machine or hand wash cool and lay flat to dry (please test first), or dry clean.
