Silk is a beautifully constructed dobby weave fabric created with a three tone tweed effect, rich with rustic charm. Made from a blend of three natural fibres: silk, flax and wool. This product has a fantastic eco-story, a luxuriously soft handle and is inherently flame retardant. The silk element is recycled content derived from ‘noils’ which are the short fibre waste remnants from the combing process before spinning. The fabric offers a colour palette of muted pastels with brighter highlights.
