Setup, Compatibility & Care
Care Instructions:
- Washing: This fabric is recommended to be hand washed. Use cool water and a gentle detergent specifically for wool. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Drying: Lay the fabric flat on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight or heat, to air dry. Reshape the fabric while damp if necessary.
- Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting using a pressing cloth to protect the wool fibers. Avoid steam, as it can encourage felting.
Cutting & Sewing:
- Pre-wash or pre-treat the fabric according to care instructions before cutting, although hand washing is recommended for the finished garment.
- Use a sharp, high-quality sewing machine needle suitable for heavier fabrics (e.g., a universal needle size 90/14 or 100/16).
- Consider using a walking foot for sewing thick layers to ensure even feeding.
- Test stitches on a fabric scrap before starting your project.
Compatibility:
This 100% wool fabric is compatible with standard sewing machines and sergers. It pairs well with other natural fibers and interfacing suitable for wool.
