Beacon Duo

woven texture duo

 

Spectacular duo for those with an architectural aesthetic. This crisp cotton/nylon woven was purchased from a NYC designer. We love the unique structure of the fabrication- white cotton yarns interwoven in a woven gridded black base. Lantern shows a lantern shape in the thick white yarns, Signal is more random horizontal lines throughout. The base is firm, but softens to the hand. We suggest designs with structure to optimize the use of this distinctive fabric fabrication

Choose Signal and/or Lantern

 


 
  
viscose sweater knit             

 
Dramatic, bold, contempora...all this and more. We loved this sweater knit so much that we bought this small piece although we generally have to avoid low yardage. We think you will love this treat for cardigans or tunics. Large blurred florals are rendered in fuchsia, fire coral, marigold, and magenta with leaf green foliage. Grand splotches of reptilian motifs in olive and earthy greens and browns off-set the florals. The charcoal black ground acts as a canvas for this stunning print. Mind the repeat of 31.5 inches if you are one who likes to match prints. Otherwise, have fun with your layout even without a direct match at the seamlines. Viscose/Elastane
  
viscose sweater knit               
 
Looking for a cardi or a dress to take you through the transitional months on either side of winter and summer. Look no further than this delicately printed viscose sweater knit. The shades of gray morph from charcoal to pearl highlighted with winter white. The vertical repeat is 30 inches but can be ignored in planning and constructing a garment as long as the off-white section does not fall directly at a key visual point. Viscose/Elastane.
