Camira launches new highly textured, British wool fabric

Bringing the comfort of home to workplaces, hotels and educational environments, Yoredale is a chunky wool fabric that is as reassuringly familiar as it is aesthetically striking. The first commercial fabric launched by Camira to use certified British wool, the textile contains an innovative binder yarn, which both conceals and highlights the black fibre inherent to the mountain sheep from which the wool is produced. With an aesthetic that reflects the fabric’s natural composition, Yoredale retains a rustic tactility – with its highly textured, unmanicured finish evoking the craggy outcrops, drystone walls and undulating valleys that define Yorkshire.
