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 260 g/m² and is made from 100 % wool.
Dark dusty pink sits between rosé and berry. The marled look of light and dark fibres makes the surface lively and forgives small marks. 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 Marled in Dark Dusty Pink is suitable for
- Snoods, hats and headbands, because the wool keeps warm and does not fray.
- Indoor slippers, as the felt is pleasantly warm and breathable.
- Children's jackets and overalls, because the lighter wool drapes softly and still keeps warm.

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.
