Pure 100% Boiled Wool Coating

The benchmark for natural warmth, weather resistance, and architectural tailoring. Crafted entirely from 100% natural wool, this fabric undergoes a traditional boiling process that shrinks and felts the fibers together, creating a dense, wind-resistant, and lightly textured pebbled surface.

At a versatile 380 GSM (11.2 oz/sq. yd), this fabric provides outstanding thermal insulation without feeling overly stiff or heavy. Because boiled wool is felted, raw edges will not unravel or fray—allowing makers to design sleek raw-edge hems, lapped seams, and unlined statement outerwear that look clean, modern, and effortless.

What to Make

The compact structure, natural insulation, and non-fraying nature make this an exceptional choice for modern outerwear and structured winter staples:

Unlined & Lined Outerwear: Wrap coats, unstructured waterfall-front cardigans, cocoon coats, chore jackets, and minimalist car coats.

Modern Tailoring: Collarless boxy jackets, structured blazers, and pea-coat styles.

Vests & Ponchos: Belted longline vests, oversized blanket wraps, and structured capes that take advantage of crisp raw-edge hems.

Winter Skirts & Pinafores: A-line mini skirts, wrap skirts, and structured winter pinafore dresses layered over fine-gauge turtlenecks.

Cold-Weather Accessories: Felted wool berets, cloche hats, mittens, structured slippers, and raw-cut edge scarves.

Sewing & Care Recommendations

Edge Finishes: Embrace raw edges, pinked edges, or topstitched lapped seams to eliminate bulky turn-backs and facings.

Pressing Tip: Use plenty of steam with a damp press cloth and a wooden tailor’s clapper to set crisp, flat seams without crushing the wool's natural loft.

Care Instructions: Dry clean recommended to maintain density and prevent unwanted shrinkage. Alternatively, hand wash cold with a dedicated wool wash and lay flat to dry; do not agitate or expose to high heat. Store with cedar blocks or lavender to naturally deter moths.
