As we are always on the look out to bring you new and exciting fabrics, we are so happy to introduce our Winter Fabric Collection here at Calico Laine. As we all know the winter is on its way, so we can start thinking about new ideas we can start to create whilst still looking stylish! It's always nice to know that you have hand picked your own fabric and design, knowing no one else will have something quite the same and as our Haberdashery selection is bursting with different products, its so easy to put your own stamp and personal touch to whatever you are making... As the ''country' look is so timeless and is very popular with all the top designers at the moment, we have some beautiful 'Wool Fabrics' in a choice of absolutely stunning colours that are subtle yet effective and will undoubtedly keep you warm and stylish through the colder months approaching us! They have a lovely tweed look to them and can be made up into jackets, coats, skirts and many more... We also have a choice of beautiful wool blends, one of my particular favourites is the 'Brown & Black Wool/Polyester Fabric'  which is a highly textured fabric which is luxuriously soft! It has a light fluffy feel to it and would make a beautiful jumper or jacket which would be comfortable too! If you want a top quality plain fabric, the Melton is a great choice. It looks and feels like boiled wool and is regularly made into winter coats and jackets... Melton will also create a relatively structured garment too, but don't forget we also stock Shoulder Pads, Interfacing and Dress Linings to really bring your garment together! A very popular technique is choosing a bright Dress Lining to really make your coat or jacket stand out! Why not try knitting and make your own clothing or accessories from Wool? You can choose everything from start to finish such as the colour of your wool, the design, and even the buttons to finish it off! So hopefully we have inspired you to get sewing or knitting! We love to hear from you and anything that you have made with our fabrics so please get in touch and  follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages! Until next time! Calico Laine
