Zingiber Collection Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a rhizome, or root, packed with hot flavor. For thousands of years Chinese medicines have used ginger to aid in digestion and circulation as well as an expectorant for clearing chest congestion. Saint Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) wrote in her comprehensive “Physica” recipes using ginger in conjunction with zedoary, galingale and wine to settle the stomach, and still today moms give their kids ginger ale to heal an upset tummy. Ginger, along with turmeric and pepper are three key ingredients in Indian cuisine that are being studied by MD Anderson Cancer Center for possible links to cancer fighting benefits. If you don’t often cook with ginger, give it a try. Use a potato peeler to shave off the rough skin and toss an inch or two into your next pot of chicken broth. For something more potent, peel and slice thin rounds of ginger, put them in a pot with some lemon juice and honey, add boiling water and let it steep for 20 minutes to create a soothing tea with a ginger spice kick.
Loes Hinse #5005 “Skirt Trio” VF165-04 Zingiber Botanic Silhouette #550 “Cowl Neck Top” VF165-05 Zingiber Mauve
Our spectacular Fall 2016 catalog begins with four selections from Telio & Cie. Zingiber Navy and Zingiber Claret are incredibly soft, double-faced suede cloths with cross-grain stretch and great recovery. These are ideal for jackets, vests, color blocking or appliqué work. The two rayon prints, Zingiber Thistles and Zingiber Botanic, have the soft hand and drape of the finest rayon challis. These large prints beg to be a simple tunic, skirt or flowing dress, where their designs will be best showcased. Zingiber Mauve, a lovely rayon Italian knit, coordinates perfectly with the lighter shades in VF165-04. If you prefer to wear solids, make a cowl neck top from this jersey to wear under a jacket of the suedes.

Cassia Collection As fall creeps in, the cold winds pick up and we find ourselves reaching for foods and drinks that will warm us. One of the most popular fall spices is cinnamon, spicing up our pumpkin lattes and enriching our breads and pies. Cinnamon is cultivated from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum plants, and the most common varieties for international food commerce are referred to as cassia. Saint Hildegard recommends you lick the powder from your hand while eating bread to clear up a congested nose. Chinese herbalists issue doses of cinnamon to promote sweating, aid in circulation, and to help counter effects of anemia. Glühwein, or mulled wines, date back to Roman times, and are tasty concoctions to warm you on cold days. Add cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, star anise and a bit of sugar to red wine, heat through, add a shot of brandy and enjoy! The first five fabrics in our Cassia Collection are imported Italian rayon jersey knits. Lightweight with ample stretch, these tantalizing textiles are ripe for ruching and wrapping in surplice tops, flowing skirts, palazzo pants and relaxed sweater sets with waterfall fronts. Mix and match them with one another for endless wardrobe options. Cassia Taupe, which is knit with a subtle diagonal angle, is also a lovely coordinate for Cassia Heather. Pair either the heather or the taupe with our two wool suitings, Cassia Pinstripe and Cassia Plaid for a smart work ensemble.

Great Copy Patterns #2420 “Bristol Jacket” VF165-15 Myristica Bouclé
Myristica Collection Inside a fruit is a seed, and wrapped around that seed is a bright red lacy covering. These would be the layered products of Myristica fragrans - the nutmeg tree. This evergreen which grows in Indonesia and Asia produces two spices in one: the seed within the fruit is nutmeg, and its intense red aril, or covering, is mace. Many things in life that are red indicate a warning or danger, and these spices contain natural chemicals, myristicin and safrole, that are components in psychoactive drugs and “ecstasy,” respectively. When eaten in large doses, one can experience a high. Malcolm X wrote about purchasing large quantities of nutmeg, concealed in matchboxes, and adding the spice to water, while he served time in prison. “A penny matchbox full of nutmeg had the kick of three or four reefers.” Autumnal wardrobes require layering to accommodate fluctuating temperatures inside and out, and we present to you a handsome collection of currant and golden raisin fabrics from which to build your wardrobe. Myristica Crepe is an interesting polyester suiting with an almost herringbone appearance. Myristica Raisin wool blend suiting is a lightweight tropical that can be worn all year long. We love how beautifully Myristica Bouclé pulls these two fabrics together. With one bouclé jacket you can wear the neutral crepe as a skirt with a blouse of Myristica Mystique burnout, or wear your bouclé jacket over a sheath dress of the raisin suiting. Pair Myristica Glitz with any of the suitings and toss on a scarf of the burnout for good measure. For Myristica Mystique we recommend you make a wonderful blouse and underline the body but not the sleeves for effect. For those of you who love stretch knit burnout velvets we offer Myristica Plush, covered with tiny leafy vines in dark rum raisin.

Clavus Collection Which spice is a flower bud picked before it blooms? Clove. Grown in warm, humid regions, the compact clove evergreen needs to be harvested at just the right moment. When the flower buds turn from green to deep red, they are picked and dried, turning their familiar dark brown color. Shaped like a club, cloves are known in other languages as clavas or clavus. Since ancient times, cloves have been used to clear up chest congestion by making coughs more productive. Teas and foods with cloves were administered to calm upset stomachs. Saint Hildegard wrote, “If one suffers in his head, so that his head is stuffy, and it is as if he were deaf, he should eat cloves often, and the stuffiness in his head will diminish.” There is new research being done to show that the oils and compounds in cloves have an analgesic effect, antimicrobial agents, and act as antihistamines. Cloves, like cinnamon and nutmeg, are believed to aid in digestive ailments, and the antimicrobial agents would surely kill parasites and bad bacteria in the digestive tract. Early Celtic yule gifts were pomanders, or cloves stuck into an apple or an orange and hung by string or ribbon to give off a lovely scent. Make yourself a pomander to put in a potpourri dish, in a dresser, or to hang in the closet. Many “people of a certain age” continue to feel young at heart but want to dress older without looking “old.” This denim inspired collection is the answer. Give your jean jacket a couture twist with Clavus Blooms. This French denim features stylized floral blooms that are woven, not printed. To wear under your jacket we present Clavus Horizons, a washable polyester stripe jersey that is so soft you’ll think it’s rayon. Don’t miss our rayon/cotton sweatshirt fleece in heather grey - Clavus Cozy will be your favorite hoodie and lounging pants for relaxing on Sunday. Clavus Distress comes to us from our favorite Chicago designer’s workroom. It’s distressed denim on black netting. Sew a knee length skirt, line it to just above the knee, and then tear or fray the bottom hem instead of sewing a neat and tidy finish. Complete your avant-garde look with an asymmetrical top of Clavus Dove rayon jersey knit and your new sweatshirt hoodie, black tights and high boots!

Cuminum Collection Among the myriad plants in the parsley family we find cuminum cyninum from which we extract the cumin seed. It is widely believed that cumin was originally cultivated in ancient Persia and was carried via the Silk Roads eastward to China and westward to Europe. The Chinese believe these pungent seeds have gastric curative effects and would chew them to calm flatulence, as well as cook strong foods like lamb and stews with toasted cumin seeds to aid in the digestion of the dish. Saint Hildegarde encouraged people to grind cumin with pepper and pimpernel, then mix the powder with wheat, egg yolk and water to make cookies to calm nausea. During the age of exploration, the seeds and plants made their way to South America where today they are still popular in dishes like tacos, chili and sopa de tortilla. But the majority of cumin is ingested in India, where it is a staple in curry dishes, drinks, candies and so much more. Around 63% of the world’s cumin is grown in India, and 90% of that is consumed in that country alone! It is for the worldwide popularity of this seed we name our collection of steel blue fabrics that can be enjoyed by women and men of all ages. Our exceptional micro-houndstooth tropical weight polyester suiting, Cuminum Classique, is ripe for the picking and will enhance your wardrobe as any number of suiting separates. Enrich your separates with a jacket or vest from Cuminum Pile, a lovely stretch cotton velveteen. You’ll notice it’s the perfect color match to the silk herringbone Cuminum Chevron which is sure to be a popular choice for natural fiber lovers. Enhance your fall wardrobe with blouses or scarves from our washable Cuminum Pavers or from our delectable silk double georgette Cuminum Skyscape. For a little brighter contrast to balance out the collection we have sprinkled in Cuminum Imposter and Cuminum Diamonds. The double-faced suede was incredibly popular in previous catalogs in garnet, brown, bone, pink and mint. The reversible cotton suiting is in limited supply, so if you like this, please order early.

Hyffa Collection When the bloom has faded from the rose, we tend to cut the spent flower back to encourage new growth. But if you let the plant continue to develop, a bright red fruit will appear. Hildegarde von Bingen referred to these hips as hyffa. A cousin to crab-apples, these fruits can be made into jams, baked into pies, and dried to be used in herbal teas. During the second World War it was discovered that rose hips carried high vitamin C and Iron contents right when citrus fruits were in scarce supply. The British government “organized the harvesting of as many rose hips as possible in England as a substitute source of Vitamin C.” Homeopathic shops today sell dried rose hips for herbal teas to boost iron in menstruating women. This vibrant fruit of the rose bush inspired the name of this exciting intense rose collection. Yarn woven with visually textured magnificence, we present Hyffa Weave, a raw silk masterpiece ideal for a fringed jacket and skirt à la Chanel. Or make a three-quarter length coat from the raw silk suiting to wear over a sheath dress of Hyffa Twill stretch gabardine. Toss on a scarf from either of the silk double georgettes and you have a tailored ensemble ready for a special evening soirée. These lightweight silk prints are absolutely stunning, and you should consider wearing them as blouse overlays or tunics to showcase their designs. Hyffa Aviary features large oval repeats of colorful birds circling floral blooms. Hyffa Tropics hides its birds within the all-over foliage, much like tropical birds hiding in rainforest treetops.

How To Use Your Catalog
Alternative Catalog View
Most of our clients enjoy putting their swatches in the catalog while sipping a yummy beverage, relaxing at home.
We know that many of you enjoy keeping your swatches in a binder, or you may have clients who wish to view the swatches. We have an alternative format available that will work well for you.
We recommend using double sided-tape, although a glue stick, regular tape or stapler can be used as well. The swatches in your bags follow the order in the catalog, with the exception of #70 and higher. Those fabrics were not swatched for our general mailing, but samples are available upon request and free to our Subscribers. Sometimes a print is too large to swatch well, or a fabric is in limited supply. Whatever the reason, we felt is was better to include it and offer swatches to those of you who were interested.

About French Terry Knit Great Copy Patterns #2420 “Bristol Jacket” VF165-36 Metra Weave
Great Copy Patterns #2550 “Savannah Tee” VF165-34 Metra Fuchsia
Silhouettes #3400 “Three-piece Yoga Pants” VF165-37 Metra Ebony
This double knit fabric has a plain face and loop pile reverse. The looped side resembles the loops of terry cloth, like you see in towels, so people believe it has great moisture wicking properties. However, the fiber determins the wicking properties, not the style of the knit. What we love about these two selections from Telio are the weight and the stretch. Metra Fuchsia and Metra Ebony are lighter than sweatshirt fleece, but slightly heavier than jersey knit, and they have more stretch than a ponte de Roma double knit, so they are ideal choices for lightweight sweater sets, sweatshirts, yoga pants and any number of upscale casual apparel. The colors are rich, so you can easily make separates that can be dressed up for an evening out.
Metra Collection Growing wild through the fields of Europe are the daisy-like flowers of the chamomile plant. German chamomile, matricaria chamomilla, has been referred to as the Water of Youth for its restorative properties. Ancient Egyptians cultivated chamomile to cure fevers and dedicated this sunny bloom to their sun god Ra. It’s sweet apple blossom smell flavored early beer before hops came into favor. Saint Hildegard refers to this wildflower as metra, and wrote that “it will gently provide a purgation of mucus and internal fetid matter and bring on menses.” Before you enjoy that relaxing cup of chamomile tea, have some antihistamine at the ready, for this relative of ragweed can conjure some allergic reactions when ingested in large amounts. If chamomile is the “Water of Youth” than our Metra Collection is the “fabric of youth.” This rich shade of fuchsia is strong enough

for a hipster while mature enough for a former hippy. Metra Dapples is the first of two such dull satin stretch polyester prints, the second being a rich red in the last collection. This medium weight woven has enough body for a figure flattering dress, jacket, or skirt. We are excited to offer two high end French terry knits. These double knits have a flat face and terry-loop reverse, so make sure to sew them into garments where the reverse shows, like a popular waterfall collar jacket, or our featured pattern, The Everyday Hoodie. They both are fantastic coordinates with Metra Weave, a fuchsia, black and white yarn woven suiting. We round out this amazing set of coordinates with Metra Filigree, a knock-out flocked double-knit. Save this fabric for special occasions and pair it with our black French terry knit or our black polyester crepe, VF165-46.

Kwik-Sew #4097 “Misses’ Pleated and Tucked Dresses” VF165-40 Kesten Jaipur
p.26
Kesten Collection Chestnuts roasting on an open fire....actually do have some wonderful benefits for you. These large brown tree nuts become tender and creamy when roasted, are low in calories, fat and cholesterol, are high in fiber and complex carbohydrates, are gluten free, and they contain several healthful vitamins. Saint Hildegard von Bingen wrote a thousand years ago that the fruit of the kestenbaum (chestnut tree) should be cooked in water and given to a person whose “brain is empty from dryness, and who because of that is weak in the head.” The chestnuts would ease the headache and restore the nerves. The French and Italians concocted confections to please the spirit. Mont Blanc is an Italian dessert of puréed, sweetened chestnuts squeezed through a piping bag into a tower and topped with whipped cream to resemble the mountain of the same name. In the south of France (and northern Italy) one will find marron glacé, or candied chestnuts, where the kernel of the nut has been soaked, repeatedly over the course of several days, in a sugar syrup and then lightly toasted to dry.
Our chestnut, or kesten, colored collection is ready to provide your fall wardrobe with all manner of tasty seasonal apparel. Begin with a light jacket of Kesten Swirls bubble knit to toss on when you head out on a cool day. Those of you in warmer climates, as well as those who love cotton for shirts, will appreciate the striking Kesten Jaipur print in subtle autumn tones. That little hint of blue is also found to greater extent in our medium weight stretch cotton twill, Kesten Floral, featuring a dynamic print for a light jeans-style jacket or bold tote-bag. Kesten Furrows was too perfect a color combination for us not to include it. We adore the texture from the pintuck design, as well as it’s large floral print and semi-sheer allure. For wear-with-all solids we offer two flexible options. Kesten Nut is a lightweight stretch knit with a crepe appearance, suitable for any pattern where jersey knits are needed. We bet you’ll do a doubletake when we tell you Kesten Crepe is dark espresso brown...not black! Don’t worry, this supple polyester crepe suiting is also available in this catalog in rich black (VF165-46). Enjoy!

Licorice Collection “Chocolate is the silk of the candy world; black licorice is the leather.” - Temptations: Igniting the Pleasure and Power of Aphrodisiacs By Michael Albertson, Ellen Albertson Licorice root has been cultivated for over a thousand years to enhance sexual drive, reduce fatigue, and ease womanly discomfort. Steeped in teas, ground up for flavoring foods, and put into healing tisanes, the uses for licorice around the world are as diverse as our cultures. Modern science has been exposing the chemicals of licorice that actually do regulate the anti-stress hormone cortisol, and components that act as a natural hormone replacement for estrogen. But the National Institutes of Health warn people to go easy on their intake of real licorice root. When you’ve consumed too much, you can suffer horrible effects like severe water retention, a drop in potassium, and muscle weakness. Fear not if you enjoy licorice whips, as the concentration should be too weak to cause problems, and you can always give that licorice flavor to teas by substituting licorice with the similar flavor found in star anise.

Unleash the power of black with this striking collection. We begin with Licorice Weave, the second such acrylic blend yarn woven suiting (see VF165-36 for fuchsia/white/black). A simple jacket from this tempting textile will carry you through fall and spring for years to come. Brace yourself for Licorice Crepe, a rich black double-woven washable polyester that is ideal for travel when you need the perfect little black dress to wear for a work convention, wedding, or girls trip with a dinner out. Plus it will be stunning as any other style of garment you need to have on hand. Have fun with Licorice Harlequin, a beautifully printed polyester crepe de chine. Our featured pattern to the right is basically rectangles in the front and back, so the diamond pattern changes direction with the drape. Silk lovers will flip for these next three fabrics. Our wild Licorice Prowler silk double georgette sports a small animal spot print, which is delightful as a scarf, sheer blouse or overlay. For those of you who can never get enough of black with silver, and you know who you are, we are thrilled to offer Licorice Glimmer raw silk suiting. This will be a stunning jacket and skirt for a formal wedding, or a show-stopping dress for an anniversary party - Hurry, limited quantity. Remember, the holidays are quickly approaching, so tailor your new glimmer jacket to wear over a little black dress of Licorice Dupioni textured silk.

Zedoary Collection Zedoary is not a spice you see in the chain supermarkets here in the states, but it is rather popular in Asia and in Asian markets. Also called white turmeric, this rhizome smells like mango but tastes like (and looks like) ginger, and is popular in Thai and Indonesian cuisines. For centuries the East has employed the healing properties of zedoary to calm bodily shakes when steeped in water overnight and imbibed the next morning. Recipes also exist for topical pastes to be applied to cuts because of its antiseptic powers. In Italian renaissance letters, a woman known as Mama Riminalda wrote a letter to her sister which included a detailed recipe for avoiding further miscarriages, and zedoary was one of many ingredients. However, today’s herbalists warn that zedoary can cause miscarriage and should be avoided by pregnant women. Red hot and ravishing, we end our Fall 2016 catalog with the perfect color to take you through fall and into the winter holidays, followed by Valentines Day and on to spring. Zedoary Dawn is lightweight
like a charmeuse, but its beautiful dull satin face is not overwhelming. Another dull satin, Zedoary Dapples is a medium weight stretch woven, ideal for casual separates like jackets, skirts, and constructed tops or dresses. Rounding out or selection of prints is this dynamic Zedoary Mosaic ITY knit. Take a moment to feel the hand, drape and stretch of this colorful cloth and you will quickly determine how to best incorporate it into your wardrobe. Now, on to the solids, and we end on a high note. Both Zedoary Graphite and Zedoary Cardinal are from our new Sofie Collection of beautiful, supple ponte de Roma double knits. The heavier weight is figure flattering for all body types, and you can wear these as any number of separates from dresses, skirts and winter tops, to zippered jackets, cardigans and slacks. Our pièce de résistance is Zedoary Coating rich red polyester blend melton. Make a warm fall jacket, line with Kasha flannel backed satin for a long winter coat, or make Folkwear’s Kinsale Cloak for Maidens to treat a young girl in your life to a Little Red Riding Hood cape this fall.
