Harris Tweed

New at Treadle, we have a selection of genuine Harris tweed. This classic, beautiful wool fabric has been esteemed for generations. In plaid, check, solid, and herringbone weaves, each fabric is a dynamic blend of softly heathered colors.

From the Harris tweed website:
Soft, tactile, breathable, warm, colourful, sustainable, adaptable...the old image of coarse, scratchy, dour tweed simply does not exist these days. While still retaining its heritage of practicality and longevity, the Harris Tweed of today extols all the qualities and virtues of a truly luxury 21st century fabric.

Japanese linen and lawn

We have even more new Japanese fabrics to share with you today, this time a group of linen and smooth cotton lawn.

The cottons often feature whimsical prints like these. Look closely at the trees and you will see the sleepy apples!


But there is plenty on the subtler side, too, like this calm forest print and the abstract styles that follow.




 These printed linens are absolutely drool-worthy.
