Wool herringbone - where to find
Sibilance7   Intermediate IL Member since 8/10/11 Posts: 533	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/9/12 2:25 PM I'm constantly having the problem of finding fabric that I love and not being able to find it anywhere so I can make something out of it. Here's the latest: I really love this exact fabric - I love the orange color and how big the pattern is. Does anyone know of anything similar - whether it's the size of the herringbone pattern or herringbone in interesting colors? I'm finding a lot of black and white herringbone online but no colors. ------ Olivia, my Pfurple Pfaff Creative Performance Bernina Aurora 430 BabyLock Enlighten

Unfortunately, the cotton ones are probably not what you want to be sewing for the winter. I also found a herringbone wool on NY Fashion's website but it runs around $47 per yard which is high for my budget. I haven't ever ordered from this website. Good luck.

The colors are pretty but subtle. I have ordered from this site before and it was successful although quite awhile ago. Kathy ------ Sewing and reading about sewing are daily pleasures.

I live right near Vogue in Evanston so I'll have to stop by there and check it out in person. I'm determined to have a wool herringbone skirt for this winter! ------ Olivia, my Pfurple Pfaff Creative Performance Bernina Aurora 430 BabyLock Enlighten
