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 385 g/m² in 100 % wool, this is a cloth for jackets and coats.
Petrol sits between blue and green. The shade looks rich and unusual and goes with mustard, rust and grey. 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 Petrol is suitable for
- 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.
- Coats and jackets, because the fabric is windproof and warms even without lining.

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.
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.
How do I cut the fabric?
With sharp scissors or a rotary cutter on a mat. Because boiled wool does not fray, the cut edge is also the finished edge. That is why it pays to cut cleanly and in one go.
Do I need to finish the edges?
No. Boiled wool does not fray because the fibres are felted together. Edges can stay raw or be highlighted with a blanket or zigzag stitch. That saves facings and makes jackets lighter.
