Fleece colors are the natural color of the sheep's fleece. In other words brown colored Fleece/fiber comes from brown sheep, white colored Fleece/fiber comes from white sheep, and a tan Fleece/fiber is what happens when someone doesn't lock the gate... no seriously a tan fleece color can be achieved by mixing the brown sheep's fleece with the white sheep's fleece.
What is the difference between plains, jean, cassimere & satinette ?
The terms plains, satinette , cassimere and jean all refer to the weave structure in the cloth. All four weaves of cloth can be woven in any fiber or fiber combination. For our purposes they are typically wool filling threads woven over cotton warp threads.
- Plains (also called tabby) weave- cloth is a plain weave where the wool thread goes over one cotton thread and under the next.
- Jean weave - the wool thread goes under 1 cotton thread then over the next two.
- Cassimere weave - the wool thread goes under 2 cotton threads then over the next two this weave is offset so that there is a defined twill line on both the face and the back of the cloth.
- Satinette weave -the wool thread floats over several cotton threads before going under one. Satinette has most of the wool on the face of the fabric and most of the cotton on the back to mimic an all wool fabric.
Do you ship internationally?
No, as of July 2021 we have made the decision to only ship within the United States. This decision was made due to the increasing number of countries which require us to register, collect and remit taxes on their behalf and the administration time this process requires. We apologies for any inconvenience this causes for our customers. .
