RePlay Zero (April) – a multi-application woven fabric with a modern knitted appearance and smart, two-tone colour detail. This environmentally intelligent fabric is woven entirely from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles and available in 21 shades.

Patternmaker (May) - using state-of-the-art digital printing technology four contemporary designs, Crosshatch, Dot Dash, Hula and Speckle, are brought to life on our 100% pure new wool felted fabric.

X2 recolour (June) – re-engineered and recoloured into a 33 shade palette, now including 25% textile waste blended with 75% post-consumer recycled polyester from plastic bottles.

Monochrome Sett (September) – a carefully curated collection of 12 mini patterns, characterised by a stylish monochromatic colour palette which coordinates with Main Line Flax and Main Line Twist. 

Snug (September) - a timeless chunky wool bouclé fabric which is both ruggedly textured yet tenderly soft. Available in five neutral colourways.
