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 385 g/m², and the material is 100 % wool.
Beige Melange is a light, warm natural shade. Its marled look comes from light and dark fibres and makes the surface livelier than a plain tone. 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 Marled in Beige Melange is suitable for
- 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.
- Gilets and ponchos, as raw edges save facings and hems.

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 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.
Which needle do I take?
A strong universal or jeans needle with a sharp point, because the dense felt needs to be pierced. Choose a slightly longer stitch than for thin woven fabric, so the seam lies flat and does not pucker the wool.
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.
