Marvelous either alone or when paired with other fabrics in the ML Marsh Collection: Organic Designer Fabrics, Winter 2011, the balanced color is an exciting deep brown resembling a roasted coffee bean.

Designer Marylou chose this french terry since, "This is a great fabric because on one side it has the nubby texture of a sweater, and on the reverse it is smooth like a heavy jersey. It is a great fabric to tailor, as it holds a shape well. It's excellent for jackets and hoodies because it is quite warm, working like a thermal because of the layer of trapped air. It also has wool-like qualities,which make it great for skirts and warm casual pants. It's almost a sweater/wool hybrid, without the itch!" This is a wonderful fabric for clothing the whole family, from casually sophisticated cardigans to little kids' gym suits and everything in-between.

You'll find this material a much-needed addition to so many wardrobes. The intense hue is perfect for fall and winter wear while also adding an unexpected touch of color during the other seasons. It layers splendidly, too.

As with all of our dyed fabrics, it is colored using low-impact fiber-reactive dyes. At 19.5 ounces per linear yard, the fabric weighs about 10.6 ounces per square yard.
