The Minerva Core Range Boiled Wool Coating Fabric is an ideal choice for garment makers and tailors seeking a high-quality, heavy-weight material for professional-grade outerwear. Composed of 100% pure wool and OEKO-TEX certified, this fabric offers exceptional warmth and structural integrity, making it perfect for structured coats, jackets, and winter layering pieces. While its density provides excellent heat retention and a refined finish, users should note that the fabric requires careful handling and maintenance, specifically hand washing, to ensure the longevity of the fibers.

Hand washing is highly recommended for this wool. Machine washing, especially on a cycle with agitation, may cause the wool to shrink or felt unintentionally.
While the fabric is easy to cut because it does not fray, its thickness can be difficult for entry-level machines. It is best suited for those comfortable with heavier materials.
Yes, all fabric is cut from the roll as one continuous piece based on the quantity requested.
While the wool is high-quality and durable, adding a lining is recommended for coats to prevent friction against undergarments and to provide a professional internal finish.
It is best suited for structured winter outerwear such as coats, jackets, capes, and tailored skirts.
Switch to a fresh, sharp needle designed for thicker fabrics and check that your presser foot pressure is set correctly for heavy-weight materials.
Use plenty of pins or clips to secure pattern pieces and use a walking foot attachment if the fabric layers are shifting during the feed process.
Use a tailor’s clapper immediately after steaming the seam to trap the heat and compress the dense wool fibers effectively.
To prepare the fabric, it is recommended to steam-press the material before cutting to account for any minor shrinkage during the initial press. When sewing, use a sharp universal or jeans needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) to ensure the needle can penetrate the thick weave without snagging. Use a slightly longer stitch length than you would for standard cotton to prevent tension issues. For care, strictly follow hand-washing protocols in cool water with a wool-safe detergent. Avoid wringing the fabric; instead, roll it in a clean towel to remove excess moisture and lay it flat to dry away from direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent fading or felting.
