Description
Boiled wool does not fray — edges can stay raw, which makes coats and jackets noticeably lighter. Weight per square metre comes to 320 g/m², width to 145 cm. It is woven from 100 % polyester.
In Grey-White the fabric stays restrained. It does not push forward but lets cut and construction do the talking. Checks are a classic pattern that can read sporty or elegant — the cut decides. Pins leave holes in coated goods that stay. Clips on the seam allowance solve it. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Boiled Wool Check in Grey-White is suitable for
- bags and rucksacks
- seat pads and covers
- dog coats

Frequently asked questions
How do I reinforce the seam?
On bags with a flat-felled seam or a second row of topstitching. That not only holds better, it also makes the seam flatter — and flatness is half the battle on thick fabrics.
What do I do with offcuts?
Wet bags, bag bases, rain covers and sit mats. Coated offcuts are too valuable to discard, because they do exactly what ordinary cotton cannot. A piece the size of a postcard already covers a bag base.
Can I pin it?
Only in the seam allowance. Coated goods keep every hole, and a seam cannot be unpicked without traces. Clips are the better choice, since they pierce nothing.
The fabric sticks to the presser foot — what helps?
A Teflon foot or a walking foot. Alternatively a strip of tissue paper between foot and fabric, torn away after the seam. A sheet of baking paper under the fabric also helps when no special foot is at hand.
