Re: anyone know about this material?
tweed is made of samples of dweets hair, dyed and spun backwards into a weave.

Re: anyone know about this material?
Im not sure what its made of, but I know that there's a specific way that its woven. I think it may be just cotton and its specifically called tweed because of the way its woven. I think. Its usually a heavier material...not heavy heavy but not light, its got body and a little weight to it. It's most commonly used in clothing, and a lot of famous clothing designers love tweed.
but anyway I found a cool website www.yourautotrim.com thats got a good selection of tweed and otehr materials.
