Fabrics : superfine qualities

Gold Treasure

In line with its tradition of luxury and exclusivity, Scabal has recently developed Gold Treasure, a fabric made from 22 carat gold and fine count Super 150's, from a rare bale of 15.5 micron Australian Merino wool. It represents not only the finest English craftsmanship, but is a genuine treasure trove, as its only decoration is 22 carat gold.

The production process took a long time to perfect. The aim was to produce a cloth that represented not only a superb piece of craftsmanship but would also offer the reliability and performance qualities that are such an important factor in modern fabric and yarn technology.

This precious cloth comes in classic dark shades of black, charcoal and navy blue so that the brilliance of the gold threads is set off against the dark background shades and immediately becomes the focus of attention. As a result of the complex production process and very fine yarn count, Gold Treasure will only be available in limited quantities to a very exclusive clientele.

Following a front page feature in the Wall Street Journal on December 13, 1999, about this Belgian Scabal fabric, all major and regional Belgian newspapers have dedicated a page or an article to Scabal, as have some newspapers abroad.

This is a top level fine woollen fabric which matches, if not surpasses, cashmere for softness, while retaining all the practical properties unique to genuine virgin wool. As wool this fine is truly exceptional and difficult to obtain, there is only enough wool available worldwide to produce a limited quantity in each pattern.
