Go Red Collection

Introducing 5 new red themed fabrics plus a new black twill coordinate

PLUS...We have grouped our current stock of red or red themed fabrics in one place as part of the Go Red Collection
  
rayon batik   
 
The base color of this batik is so delicious spicy red mottled with copper and verdigris. The result is a softened marsala ground coloration supporting delicately rendered moths in deep violet. See our Pinterest Board for inspiration on sewing with rayon batiks.
ponte knit 
 
Same goods as Metropolitan,
but half again its weight. This is the perfect weight for dresses or tunics. Soft, drapey, but with plenty of stability for slightly structured separates. Cosmopolitan will be your go-to ponte knit this season. Some will like the weight for pants, but the Metropolitan we offer has a bit more body for that use.  It is also available in black- not sampled.  Rayon/Nylon/Spandex.
 
 
 
 
 

viscose knit
 

Dramatic in size, but subtle in coloration, this digitally printed jersey knit is a fabulous find for tops and dresses year-round.

The energetic print is visually stimulating-quiet in the neutral browns and dramatic in the cherry red. The neutral colorations of chocolate brown, cocoa, and mocha swirl on an almond ground. Shades of cherry red are highlighted with yellow and deep gold on a black ground. Imported from Italy. Viscose/elastane


cotton print spandex
 

This is what we lovingly call a "happy" print. Just looking at it makes you smile and looking at it on a cold winter day, makes it all worthwhile. Deep cherry red rose-like blooms sketched in black dominate the foreground. The blossoms are surrounded by sketched foliage randomly colored with earthy green swaths of color. The soft white cotton satin ground has stretch for comfort. This floral will be perfect for dresses, either sheath or fit-and-flare and skirts and tops. Originally milled for Theory, this joyful print will brighten your days right through the summer months. 

cotton stretch twill
 

OK, we know this is part of the Go Red Collection and it's not red! We just thought we'd introduce one of our newest black basics to give you a coordinate for some of the prints in this group. Cotton stretch twill is the perfect bottom weight for so many uses- skirts, pants, jeans, shorts and then there are dresses and jackets too. All in all, if you wear black for any reason, you can't go wrong with this basic.
