We thought you might be in the mood for something woolly and warm, what with this dramatic temperature drop and all.

Here are two lovely ranges of wool fabric to inspire cosy projects….

100% wool fabric by designers Polly Minick & Laurie Simpson in 9 beautiful colours. 137cm wide, ideal for dressmaking or home-dec; tweedy skirts and jackets, cushions, curtains, blankets. Don’t you just want to wrap yourself up in it?

And this very tempting 80% wool, felted woven fabric. Thick and flat, we spotted it and thought it would be great for lap-top cases and crafting projects but it’s already been used for curtains and a skirt! Its quite unusual to have something clearly woven and felted so if you want to have a feel of it order a little swatch pack so you can see what we mean…
