Description
Smoke blue melange is a muted grey-blue with darker fibres woven in. It recalls a winter sky and pairs nicely with natural white or mustard.
Here the warmth of wool meets the comfort of fleece: 100 % merino wool, knitted and brushed on its inner side. At 290 g/m² the fabric stays supple yet has enough body for jackets and gilets. Merino balances temperature and moisture and needs little washing. With 140 cm of width, front and back pieces lie comfortably side by side.
Especially practical for children: merino rarely needs washing and hardly holds odours.
What Merino Wool Fleece Smoke Blue Melange 1258 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.
