FALL 2011

Warm and wooly fabric personalities, as portrayed by the latest introduction from HBF Textiles, welcome the fall chill in the air and anticipate the arrival of winter. Three yarn-inspired qualities provide a luxurious textural dialogue and are complemented by a pair of large iconic graphic designs. The five patterns represent a realm of 33 colorations ranging from complex neutrals to modern and fresh accents. Environmental properties feature rapidly renewable yarns as well as post-consumer recycled polyester fibers.

Knitwork is a hefty chunk of material constructed of soft wool boucle yarns springing with resiliency and visually describing those hand-made treasures our grandmothers so lovingly crafted. Comprised of 98% wool, Knitwork weighs in at 34 ounces per linear yard.

Afghan speaks a similar textural language but with different fibers and slightly more uniform surface. However, some natural variations in the surface texture are inherently a part of the construction and add to the beauty and uniqueness to the cloth available in six hues ranging from cool to warm neutrals.

The third texture in this series, Rib Stitch, is a low profile horizontal stripe that adds a touch of glimmer against a matte rib of chenille. This luminous material offers an excellent tailored upholstery option and does double duty as a multi-purpose vertical material.

The crisp graphic elements of I-Beam provide a larger-scaled, modern-day Greek key design. Crypton Green combines with recycled polyester yarns to offer a durable solution for today's interiors. Noticeable warm and cool neutrals advance to strong contemporary shades in the nine standard colorways.

As a hand-drawn expression of a Swedish crochet design, Stencil is a contemporary scaled pattern set up in a half-drop pattern repeat. This deliberate placement allows more of the round motif to appear when used as upholstery on smaller scaled seating. Comprised of a solution dyed nylon warp, bleach-cleanable recycled fill yarns and enhanced with a GreenShield stain resistant finish; Stencil offers amazing performance, seven dynamic colors, environmental properties and an amazing price point.
