Description
Lilac melange is a powdery mauve with a grey undertone, threaded with lighter fibres. A gentle shade that makes wool look unexpectedly modern.
Softly knitted merino wool with a brushed inner side: that is how this fleece feels. It weighs 290 g/m², stretches and keeps warm without adding bulk. Because merino absorbs moisture and releases it again, the climate next to skin stays pleasant, even during outdoor play. At 140 cm wide, jumpers can be laid out economically.
A lovely base material for outdoor layers that pairs well with Naomi boiled wool and merino knit.
What Merino Wool Fleece Lilac Melange 1642 HW26/27 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.
