This 100% wool fabric has been specially commissioned by The Tudor Tailor from a Yorkshire mill and is currently available in six colours. The weave is a 2/2 twill which has a good stretch across the bias, making it an excellent choice for bias cut hose. It also has a lovely drape and makes up beautifully for petticoats, kirtles, coats and gowns.
The range of colours is based on the mass of documentary evidence so far extracted from wills and inventories which will be published in our forth-coming book The Typical Tudor. Our findings make it clear that there were strong conventions in choices of colour for certain garments depending on one's gender and social status.
This listing is for woollen cloth in Woad Blue. This colour is strongly associated with working men and used most commonly for coats and jackets.
PLEASE NOTE, this fabric is sold by the half yard. To order the exact amount required simply select multiple quantities before adding it to your cart. For example, if you need 3 1/2 yards, select 7 in the 'quantity' box and we'll cut the 3 1/2 yards as one continuous length of cloth.
We also offer our woollen cloth in five additional colours. Please visit our Fabric section to see our complete range: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheTudorTailor?section_id=12946895&ref=shopsection_leftnav_8
