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.
Marled grey is the most versatile shade in the range. The mix of light and dark fibres looks lively and combines with any colour. 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 Grey 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.
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.
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.
