Boiled Wool Fashion Fabrics

Where to Use Boiled Wool in Fashion

Coats & Jackets: Design chic, weather-ready outerwear with a refined shape. Pair with fun linings or bold accessories to create statement pieces.

Cardigans & Sweaters: Take advantage of boiled wool’s coziness for layered outfits—perfect for brisk days or cooler indoor environments.

Skirts & Dresses: Add warmth and structure to skirts and dresses without sacrificing style. Boiled wool’s slightly stiff drape can create sophisticated lines and silhouettes.

Fashion Accessories: Leftover boiled wool is great for scarves, hats, or even small bags, offering both comfort and texture in one go.

Tips for Sewing with Boiled Wool

Pre-Treatment: Some boiled wool fabrics may relax or slightly shrink with steam. If the manufacturer’s instructions allow, gently steam or dry clean before cutting.

Cut with Care: Use sharp fabric shears or a rotary cutter to handle the fabric’s thickness and maintain clean edges.

Choose Quality Interfacing: For more structured garments like blazers or coats, opt for interfacing that complements the heavier weight of boiled wool.

Press Gently: Use a pressing cloth and moderate steam to shape seams and hems, taking care not to crush the fabric’s felted texture.

Caring for Boiled Wool

Dry Clean or Gentle Treatment: In most cases, boiled wool garments retain their shape best with dry cleaning. If washing at home, opt for a cold, gentle cycle—only if label instructions permit.

Air Dry: Reshape garments and lay them flat to dry, avoiding high heat from dryers or direct sunlight.

Minimal Ironing: Press lightly on the reverse side with a press cloth if necessary, being mindful of the delicate felted surface.

Proper Storage: Hang or fold your boiled wool garments in a dry, clean environment to prevent any risk of moth damage or mildew.
