Description
Grey melange is a mid, cool grey with lighter and darker fibres running through it. That makes the surface lively like a loden winter coat while staying neutral with everything.
This merino fleece is a knit made of 100 % merino wool with a softly brushed reverse. At 290 g/m² it is lighter than classic boiled wool, drapes more softly and sews much like a sturdy sweatshirt fabric. Merino regulates warmth and moisture, barely itches and holds odours less – so it can be worn right against skin. Its 140 cm of width is enough for jumpers and jackets in one piece.
A lovely base material for outdoor layers that pairs well with Naomi boiled wool and merino knit.
What Merino Wool Fleece Grey Melange 1181 by Swafing is suitable for
- Jumpers, hoodies and fleece jackets for cooler seasons.
- Wool base layers and gilets for children, because merino keeps warm and breathes.
- Hats, snoods and headbands that should not itch.
- Lining for boiled wool jackets when something soft is wanted inside.

Frequently asked questions
How do I care for merino fleece?
According to the care label: do not wash, bleach, tumble dry or iron. Merino largely cleans itself when aired; dab small stains with a damp cloth and let the fabric dry flat.
Does merino wool itch?
Merino is a very fine wool, and most people tolerate it well even directly on skin. The brushed inner side makes the handle softer still. If your skin is very sensitive, try a small piece on your wrist first.
How do I sew this fleece?
Use a jersey or stretch needle and a slightly elastic stitch, or an overlocker. A walking foot stops the layers from shifting. Jersey or wool rib cuffs go well with it.
How does it differ from boiled wool?
Boiled wool is fulled and therefore firmer and more windproof. This merino fleece is a brushed knit, lighter and stretchier – better suited to close-fitting garments, jumpers and mid layers.
