Shades: Ember View is a bold, heritage-inspired wool tweed that captures the warmth and drama of a glowing horizon. It evokes the moment when day fades into night, sunset blazing across grey valleys, hearth embers glowing in cedarwood beams, sunlight softening stone walls. Its marled grey base provides a grounded, stone-like foundation, while a mlange yarn of fiery sunset orange tones infuses the fabric with energy and vibrancy. A cedarwood-hued windowpane check overlays the design, adding structure and resonance, balancing rustic warmth with refined sophistication. Cool grey flanks the cedarwood accents of the windowpane overcheck and suggests the fogged windows of a homely retreat.
Design: Windowpane check characterised by slim, evenly spaced bands of colour running vertically and horizontally to form large squares, reminiscent of windowpanes. This particular design features a subtle underlying wider band beneath the windowpane lines, creating added depth and emphasis that highlights the checks structure.
Style:Ember View is a tweed of warmth and strength, a fabric that stands out while staying rooted in heritage tweed weaving, reimagined with a vibrant, contemporary colour interplay of fiery orange and cedarwood recalls the glow of embers against weathered stone.
