Italian textured red/gold floral wool fleece knit

From a new shipment from Italy, this wonderful textured wool fleece is just right for a fabulous cozy cardigan, jacket, cape, topper coat, etc. The dimensional, floral pattern (19" repeat) features raised and recessed areas with a brushed texture, and the design is knitted in (not a print), seen as a flat weave on the reverse. Colors are golden dijon, poinsettia red, silvery white and black (PANTONE 14-0837, 19-1663, etc.). The fabric has a knit construction but it's quite stable with about 15% stretch in the width, and it has neat decorative selvages that can be used at hems or edges. The fabric is medium weight with body in the drape, and has a cozy, fleecy texture. Dry cleaning recommended, or treat as you would any fine sweater knit (hand wash, lay flat to dry).
