Leftover - Boiled wool - melange taupe 40cm

When making Walkloden, woven or knitted fabrics are artificially felted by fulling (rubbing, pressing, kneading) in a warm water bath. Due to the influence of heat and water, the scale structure of wool breaks open and the adjacent fibers hook into each other.

Boiled wool is like a miracle material. The contraction of the wool fibers encloses a large number of air chambers, which later serve as a buffer against cold (and heat). Perfect temperature regulation. Due to the compression of the material, drops of water simply roll off the surface of the fabric.

Boiled wool has optimal wearing properties. It is wind-resistant, dirt- and water-repellent. Drops just roll off. Although fulled fabric is so light, it can absorb a lot of moisture without feeling damp.

​Good to know

• You still need a suitable thread? We are happy to choose the right one for you!
• Usually boiled fabrics cannot be washed. If you want to be on the safe side before sewing, you can iron the fabric. Place a damp cloth between the fabric and the iron.
• Use Wonderclips.
• to clip the layers of fabric together
• Boiled wool does not fray and therefore does not need to be trimmed. Sew with a zigzag or straight stitch.
• For sewing, we recommend a Jersey sewing needle.
• Boiled fabrics do not necessarily have to be lined. In order to ensure the best possible benefits of fulled wool, we recommend using a quality lining with similar climate-regulating properties. This means that moisture must be able to be wicked away to the outside without the fabric itself feeling damp. Natural fibers such as cotton, wool and silk are just as suitable as the synthetic fibers viscose, lyocell and modal.
• We deliver the fabric folded, it is cut in one piece.
• The colors may vary depending on the screen, we are happy to help with possible combinations.
