uy Tweed by the Yard: Pindler & Pindler Brabant Plum

What is Tweed?

“Tweed is a type of fabric made from rough, woven wool. It may or may not use a twill or diagonal weave. Herringbone, a twill pattern in which the diagonal slant of the weave alternates, is popular in tweed. Many tweed fabrics also make use of threads of different colors to create an attractive “heather” effect. Tweed was traditionally hand dyed using local natural dyes and hand woven.” ~ source: ahume.co.uk
