No, this fabric is strictly for hand washing only. Machine washing will result in unwanted shrinking and felting.
No, it is sold as a standalone piece of fabric. Because of its structure and non-fraying edges, it is often used for unlined projects.
Yes, all fabric is cut from the roll and supplied as a single, continuous length.
This fabric is a heavy-weight material at 415 gsm.
Yes, the stable, non-fraying nature of boiled wool makes it relatively easy to handle for sewing enthusiasts.
It is best for coats, capes, jackets, hats, and structured cosplay costumes.
Use a sharp rotary cutter on a stable cutting mat to achieve clean, consistent lines without pulling the fibers.
Increase your machine's stitch length and ensure you are not stretching the fabric while guiding it through the feed dogs.
Before sewing, it is recommended to steam-press the fabric to ensure any slight tension from the roll is released. Use a sharp universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) and a slightly longer stitch length to accommodate the thickness. Regarding care, strictly avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these actions will cause the wool fibers to shrink and felt further, leading to distortion. Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild wool detergent, rinse without wringing, and lay flat in the shade to dry. Always test a scrap piece before applying high-heat ironing; use a press cloth and steam settings suitable for wool.
