The Minerva Core Range Boiled Wool Coating in Sunset is an ideal choice for garment makers and cosplayers looking for a heavy, structured, and exceptionally warm fabric. With its dense, felted texture and 415gsm weight, it provides excellent insulation for outerwear like capes, jackets, and coats, though its substantial thickness requires careful handling and specific sewing machine needles to ensure professional results.

No, boiled wool is a felted fabric and does not fray at the edges, which makes it perfect for raw-edge finishes.
It is not recommended. Machine washing can cause the wool to shrink and felt further, ruining the garment's shape. Dry clean only.
While the fabric is easy to cut, the weight requires a machine capable of handling heavy layers. It is best for those with some experience in handling thicker materials.
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use cedar or mothballs if storing for an extended period, as wool is a natural fiber.
Yes, all fabric ordered by the metre is supplied as one continuous piece.
Switch to a larger, sharper needle size and ensure you are using a walking foot to help the fabric feed evenly.
Use a 'butterflied' seam technique or trim the seam allowances close to the stitching line to reduce excess thickness.
Before starting your project, ensure you have heavy-duty needles (size 90/14 or 100/16) to pierce the dense fibers. Because this is a wool product, you should avoid standard machine washing, which may cause unwanted shrinkage or felting. Dry cleaning is the recommended care method to preserve the color and texture of the Sunset finish. When pressing, always use a press cloth and plenty of steam to avoid scorching the surface or creating a shiny finish on the wool.
