Orkney Herringbone Tweed Fabric | Wool-Look Upholstery | 350gsm Heavy Weight

Price range: £0.00 through £187.09 Price Including Tax

Achieve the high-end look of traditional Scottish tweed without the high maintenance or price tag. Our Orkney Herringbone Tweed is a premium Wool-Look Upholstery Fabric woven from durable 100% Polyester.

Weighing in at a substantial 350 GSM, this fabric features a classic “Herringbone” (V-shape) weave that adds sophisticated texture and depth to any room. Unlike real wool, which can be itchy and dry-clean only, this fabric is soft to the touch and machine washable, making it the perfect choice for busy family homes.

Why Choose Orkney Wool-Look Tweed?

  • The Look of Wool, The Ease of Polyester: Get the rustic, heritage aesthetic of woven wool with the durability and stain-resistance of modern polyester.

  • Heavy Duty Upholstery Weight: At 350gsm, this fabric is thick and stable. It is designed to withstand daily use on sofas, armchairs, and dining seats without sagging or wearing out.

Expert Upholstery Tips

  1. Pattern Matching: The Herringbone pattern runs vertically. When upholstering large items like a sofa, ensure you order enough fabric to match the “V” pattern across seams for a professional finish.

  2. Needle Choice: This is a heavy fabric. Use a Heavy Duty (Jeans) Needle (Size 100/16) to penetrate the thick weave without breaking.

  3. Fire Regulations: If you are upholstering a fixed piece of furniture (like a sofa) for a home, you must use a Fire Retardant Interliner or request FR treatment to comply with UK safety laws.
