Italian textured crosshatch graphic 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, crosshatch graphic pattern (34" repeat) features raised and recessed areas and a brushed texture, and the design is knitted in (not a print), seen as a flat weave on the reverse. Colors are dijon, aubergine, moss, charcoal heather and toasty brown (PANTONE 16-0948, 16-0421, 18-1018, 19-3323, 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).
