LaTrobe's Take

Melange Check from Luum Textiles interprets a classic Glen plaid through a relaxed, tactile lens, channeling tailored geometry softened by a nubby, woven surface. Conceived by designer Suzanne Tick, its large-scale pattern emerges from collage and weave effects - melange yarns spun from pre- and post-consumer recycled wool, acrylic, and polyester lend the checks a layered, dimensional palette that shifts subtly across the grid. The visual interplay is quietly structural, with dry woolen texture and multi-toned neutrals that nod to its coordination with Wool Fleck within the Shared Ground collection. Suitable for contract and hospitality upholstery, Melange Check balances heritage patterning with a sustainable, contemporary sensibility.

Manufacturer's Description

Color: K-4100

A contemporary take on traditional Glen plaids, Melange Check's large-scale pattern emerged through the development of its coordinate Wool Fleck. Color and weave effects from Wool Fleck's handloom blanketing process were collaged together and infused with contrasting accents, yielding an inherently structural plaid pattern through the interaction of the warp and weft. Made of pre- and post-consumer recycled wool, acrylic and polyester, repurposed fibers take on new life and minimize environmental impact when shredded down and re-spun into richly colored melange yarns. Once woven, dimensional color interactions emerge, displaying a striking pattern with a soft, woolen surface suitable for contract and hospitality interiors. Each of Melange Check's 10 colorways coordinate directly with multiple Wool Fleck colors.
