Description
Boiled wool is densely felted: it keeps out the wind, warms even without lining and still lets moisture escape. Because nothing frays, edges can stay raw or be finished with a decorative stitch. At 140 cm wide and 380 g/m² in 100 % wool, this is a cloth for jackets and coats.
Black is the classic for coats: calm, elegant and easy to combine with anything. On the dense boiled wool surface it looks deep and matt. At 380 g/m² the wool is sturdy and holds its shape, ideal for coats, jackets and anything that should keep its form. According to the care label, the fabric is neither washed nor ironed. Airing and brushing keep wool fresh for a long time.
What Boiled Wool in Black is suitable for
- Gilets and ponchos, as raw edges save facings and hems.
- Slippers and hats, because the firm felt keeps its shape.
- Bags and cases, as the dense fabric is stable and does not fray.

Frequently asked questions
How do I care for the fabric?
According to the care label: do not wash, do not bleach and do not tumble dry. Wool largely cleans itself through airing. Brush out marks when dry or dab them gently with a damp cloth; for a thorough clean, take it to a professional cleaner.
May I iron the fabric?
The care label says no. Seam allowances can still be made flat: topstitch them close to the seam or trim them back, since the edge does not fray. Pressing them firmly with your fingers helps as well.
Do I need a lining?
Not necessarily. The fabric is dense and clean on the inside because nothing frays. If you want a smoother inside for easier dressing, or do not like wool against the skin, add a lining of viscose or cotton.
Is boiled wool waterproof?
No. The dense wool sheds light rain and snow for a while and stays warm even when damp, but it does not replace a rain jacket. Let wet garments dry hanging in the air, not on a radiator.
