Description
Loden is wool cloth that is fulled after weaving. The fibres interlock, and the surface becomes closed and soft. The result is warm, windproof and stays clean at raw edges, so facings and hems can be left out. The width is 140 cm, the weight 260 g/m², and the material is 100 % wool.
Dusty pink is a subdued pink with a slightly brownish cast. It looks warm and soft and suits children and adults alike. At 260 g/m² this is one of the lighter qualities: it drapes more softly and suits children's jackets, gilets and snoods. 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 Dusty Pink is suitable for
- Gilets and cardigan-style jackets, as raw edges need no hems.
- Snoods, hats and headbands, because the wool keeps warm and does not fray.
- Indoor slippers, as the felt is pleasantly warm and breathable.

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.
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.
Does it suit children's clothes?
Yes, boiled wool jackets, overalls, hats and slippers are a classic. Wool warms, balances moisture and keeps out the wind. Since the fabric is not washed, a lining or replaceable cuffs are worthwhile on children's garments.
