Minerva Core Range Pure Boiled Wool Coating is an excellent choice for dressmakers and crafters who need a heavyweight, insulating textile for outerwear such as jackets, capes, and hats. Its dense, felted construction offers natural structure and superior warmth, making it ideal for winter garments. While its durability and ease of handling are standout benefits, users should note that the fabric requires careful maintenance and must be hand-washed to preserve its texture and shape.

No, because the wool is boiled and felted, it does not fray, which allows you to finish seams with raw edges.
While it can be lined, its dense structure and comfort against the skin often make it perfect for unlined coats.
Use a low-heat steam setting and a pressing cloth to avoid crushing the felted texture or scorching the fibers.
No, hand washing is the recommended method to prevent felting further or damaging the structural integrity of the fabric.
It is best for heavyweight items like winter coats, capes, structured jackets, hats, and cosplay costumes.
This fabric is approximately 400-415 gsm, classifying it as a heavyweight material.
Use a walking foot or reduce the pressure on your sewing machine's presser foot to prevent fabric displacement.
Ensure you are using a sharp, heavy-duty needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) designed for thick textiles.
Always pre-steam the fabric before cutting your patterns; never use a high-heat dryer after washing.
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva Boiled Wool, follow these guidelines. When preparing to sew, pre-steam the fabric to account for any minor shrinkage. Use a walking foot if available to help move the heavy layers evenly under the needle. For maintenance, hand washing is strictly recommended; soak in cool water with a gentle wool detergent, avoid wringing the fabric, and lay flat in the shade to dry to maintain its shape and felted structure.
