Boiled wool fabric is primarily used for creating berets, scarves, vests, cardigans, coats, and jackets. The process to make this fabric consists of shrinking the fabric and results in a dense felted fabric that resists fraying and further shrinkage.
100% wool.
145cm wide.
Approx Weight 380gsm/420gsm
Washing Instructions
– Manufacturer says: A gentle cold-to-lukewarm bath (an actual bath would be good where it can spread out and not need moving about much) with a specific wool wash. Avoid agitation or wringing. Carefully rinse and roll and press in a towel to remove excess water. We strongly recommend testing a small piece first to be sure.
These Beautiful Boiled Wool Coatings are available to buy from the Material Moves Shop for local collection or delivery as well as postage to anywhere in the UK. Its a heavy weight (approx 380gsm/ 420gsm) felted knit wool so its great for unlined coats warm gilets, berets and chunky cardigans.
Try it using Simplicity 9015 or Butterick 6250, or make something unique with additional needlefelting with Vogue 8430.
All the skills needed to make these are offered in my dressmaking classes and workshops both online and in the Sewing Studio. Look out for details of an online wrap coat making workshop coming soon.
