This 100% wool fabric is supplied to The Tudor Tailor from a Yorkshire mill and has been selected as a good representation of the Tudor cloth known as ‘russet'. Russet was a simple, sometimes homespun woollen fabric which, unless otherwise specified, can usually be assumed to be ‘sheep coloured' i.e. it is woven from undyed sheep's wool which might be coloured anything from creamy white, through greys and browns, to near black due to natural pigment being present in the fibre. It is strongly associated with the rural working class who used it extensively for hose, petticoats, gowns, waistcoats and coats. This fabric is woven from a blend of British Wools. Using Jacobs, Welsh Half breed and Mule types.
