Description
Boiled wool is made by felting woven wool with warmth, moisture and movement. The cloth shrinks together and becomes dense, windproof and warm, yet stays breathable. Cut edges do not fray, so hems and edges may stay open. The fabric is 140 cm wide, weighs 385 g/m² and is made from 100 % wool.
Navy is a dark, clear blue. It looks smart and timeless and is a safe choice for coats and jackets that will be worn for years. At 385 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 Navy is suitable for
- Slippers and hats, because the firm felt keeps its shape.
- Bags and cases, as the dense fabric is stable and does not fray.
- Boiled wool jackets and overalls for children, because wool warms and lets moisture escape.

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.
