No, because the wool has been boiled and felted, it creates a stable edge that does not require traditional seam finishing.
As with most boiled wool products, it has a dense texture; if you have sensitive skin, it is recommended to line the garment or use it for outer layers that do not touch the skin directly.
No, at 415 gsm, this is a heavy-duty fabric intended for autumn and winter warmth.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and keep it protected from moths.
You can use a steam iron, but always use a pressing cloth and minimal pressure to avoid damaging the felted texture.
Yes, all orders by the metre are cut as a single, continuous piece.
Switch to a fresh, sharp denim or heavy-duty needle to penetrate the dense felted fibers.
Use a pressing cloth and apply steam gently, avoiding heavy pressure from the iron plate.
Ensure only cold or lukewarm water is used; never machine wash or tumble dry boiled wool.
To ensure the best results, use a sharp, heavy-duty needle (such as a size 90/14 or 100/16) to pierce the dense wool weave effectively. If you are sewing multiple layers, ensure your machine has sufficient presser foot clearance. Because the fabric is felted, avoid over-pressing; use a steam iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth to prevent crushing the fibers. Regarding care, always perform a hand wash in cool to lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage and felting distortion. Avoid the dryer entirely; lay the garment flat to dry in the shade to maintain the vibrancy of the red dye.
