The story behind the cloth
Buttermere,in every thread.
Inspired by the spectacular bluebells that carpet the slopes of Rannerdale Knotts each spring, our Buttermere tweed captures the colours and natural beauty of this much-loved Lake District valley.
For a few weeks each year, the hillside is transformed by a sea of bluebells, creating a vivid display of colour against the surrounding green fells. This fleeting spectacle inspired the original woven throw design, which has been refined and simplified by Curlew Fabric Design to create a versatile tweed that retains the softness and movement of its floral origins. It is also available in a timeless herringbone weave.
Made from 100% British wool, our Buttermere tweed is naturally durable, breathable and flame resistant. Tested to 30,000 Martindale rubs, it is a versatile fabric for clothing, upholstery, soft furnishings and accessories.
From fleece to finished cloth, every stage of processing takes place within 100 miles of the farm, supporting British farmers and our regional textile industry.
Designed by Curlew Fabric Design and woven in the North West of England.
