heather color

…The origin of the name comes from the fact that the rough twill, originally woven in the Border region on the border between England and Scotland, was spelled tweel in Scottish in the mid-18th century, and that a London merchant mistook it for tweed, since it was woven in the Tweed River basin in this region. The most representative multi-colored combination is called heather color, and is familiar as the color of natural plants and flowers in England, Scotland, and Ireland. In addition to the above-mentioned tweeds named after the sheep used as raw materials, there are also names such as Harris tweed, Donegal tweed, and Scotch tweed named after the place of production, nep tweed and bouclé tweed named after the type of yarn used, and Chanel tweed named after the designer who used it. …
