Dazzled by Delphine - Our New Tencel Twill Collection

Dazzled by Delphine - Our New Tencel Twill Collection

This week we welcomed an enchanting new fabric to the store - the Delphine collection! This collection includes seven tantalizing colours, and has our heads swimming with ideas for our next makes. The Delphine collection is an Enzymatic Tencel Twill fabric. Wondering what that means? Lets break it down: Enzymatic refers to the treatment of the fabric, which makes it lovely and soft. If you’re already familiar with our Ellis Washed Linen, this fabric has a similar feel and drape. Tencel is a relatively new (environmentally conscious) fabric made from wood pulp. The pulp is dissolved and spun into fibres,...

Unbe-weave-able: Warp & Weft is here!

Unbe-weave-able: Warp & Weft is here!

The long anticipated Warp and Weft collection from Ruby Star Society has arrived!  Warp & Weft is an entirely woven collection, meaning that rather than printing colours onto the fabric, the yarn is dyed prior to the weaving process. The warp yarns run vertically in the fabric, while the weft yarns run width-wise, so when different colours are woven together they can create these gorgeous textured designs. It’s also fun to see how this technique creates the inverse design on the back side of the fabric. We are so excited to have all 28 bolts of fabric in this collection....
