Italian Wool Cotton Blend with a Touch of Sparkle
Soft woven blend of cotton, virgin wool, cashmere, viscose, and a pinch of nylon you cannot feel along with very tiny flat round iridescent sequins visible on both sides. I don't feel the cotton. They are kind of buried in the weave and make this perfect for evening. Jacket weight with drape, weave is malleable. Ivory and dark wine. Suitable for jackets, poncho type wraps, something that drapes, maybe a soft open wrap skirt.

Medium Indigo 14oz Raw Denim
14 oz sturdy raw denim but not the rawest, medium light blue denim. Suitable for jeans, jackets, coats, accessories. Slightly softer than a typical raw denim but still raw. Seam will fade after wearing if you are looking for that "look"just wear this in on its own and then wash or dry clean.
Care guidance: I recommend just wearing this in, do not pre wash before sewing. If you must remove some starch lay flat and soak for at least an hour, hang straight to drip dry, press and reshape when damp repeat if you like. Sanforized.

You can also use the sheerness, will make a gorgeous wrap or poncho style covering. This would usually cost at least 150 to 200, please take advantage. Investment sewing. Price per yard.

Classic Red Wool Knit Binder
Bright bold perfect crisp red. I have 2 widths. The 6mm is flat and suitable for accents as a seam cover, neck/shoulder seams, pockets, take it everywhere. Also there is a binder 10mm on each side. Please note both stretch cross not with the length. This makes it easy to wrap an edge or for covering a seam but does not stretch lengthwise. It will do curve depending on how severe but I recommend dampening in the curve and steaming to shrink and mold first.

Ribbon Tweed
Interesting piece, colors are grey, butter, black, with accent in aqua thread. No synthetic. The ribbons are similar to hem tape but nicer and folded tight like a spaghetti strap then woven with black and aqua thread that is not poly I think cotton could be rayon. Both sides are usable and offer something interesting. Gives bias - could make an interesting MV Bias Pullover.

Floral Jacquard Raincoat Fabric Waterproof - Stone 2 Yards
Price is for 2 yards. Has a small 2" snip on the selvage at 1 yard.
Designer, high quality, water proof raincoat floral jacquard. Outside surface is a stone taupey with a smoke grey jacquard floral pattern, the finish is sateen and fools the eye as it does not look like a "water proof raincoat" fabric. It is all poly, made in Italy. I suggest a lined car coat type garment. Also available in opposite colorway.
