A light wool blend for the garments that become part of daily life.
A cassock or habit is made to be worn, often and for long stretches of the day. Choosing its cloth deserves time. This Tropical Wool Blend combines 45% wool with 55% polyester in a lightweight fabric for cassocks, monastic habits, robes and everyday tailoring. Its 58-inch width is useful when laying out those long pattern pieces.
Projects and possibilities
Black is the traditional choice for many clerical garments. Cream is another option where it suits your design, with limited availability. Beyond church sewing, try a swatch for a tailored skirt, trousers or a costume pattern that calls for a lightweight wool blend.
Fabric details
- Fiber content: 55% polyester / 45% wool
- Width: 58 inches (approximately 147 cm)
- Weight: Tropical / lightweight
- Colors: Black; Cream with limited availability
Planning your project
Begin with the fabric requirements in your pattern. A swatch lets you assess the hand, color and opacity before committing to the yardage. For a long cassock or habit, plan the full layout first so all the pieces, including the less obvious ones, are accounted for.
Yardage and swatches
For your sewing project, choose By The Yard. A quantity of 1 is 1 yard.
A swatch lets you see the color and feel the cloth before choosing your yardage. Select Swatch Sample. Each sample is approximately 4 × 6 inches; a quantity of 1 orders one sample, and a higher quantity orders additional samples. Add yardage separately when you are ready for the project.
Swatch order terms: Please choose your cut carefully. Once processed, swatches are final sale and cannot be cancelled, refunded or exchanged, including when a swatch was selected instead of yardage.
Before you cut and sew
Machine wash warm on a gentle cycle and line dry; press as needed. Dry cleaning is also an option. Try your chosen method on a sample, and check that the lining, interfacing and trims can receive the same care before washing the completed garment.
