TEXTILE TRENDS
Go Green
Textile designers go green, picking up sophisticated shades from sage to olive for stripes, bold prints, athletic fabrics and textured novelties.
Orange You Glad
Warm shades of pumpkin and rust add interest to plaids and crochet and a pop of color to activewear knits.
In The Pink
From petal to dusty rose and mauve, pink is a perennial favorite for ditsy florals and larger blooms, intricate laces and fancy novelty constructions, but the soft shade works for athletic mesh and flannel plaids as well.
Gold Touch
Textile mills add a touch of gold to casual knits, laces, activewear and heavier suiting-weight fabrics.
Bundle Up
Sweater knits with plenty of surface interest run the gamut from lofty, heavier styles to paperweight constructions.
Perfect Spot
Textile designers are seeing spots offering everything from traditional polka-dot styles to novelty prints and jacquards and knit patterns that are spot-on.
