Description
Boiled wool does not fray — edges can stay raw, which makes coats and jackets noticeably lighter. The web measures 145 cm across; its weight comes to 280 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % polyester.
Black/White sits at the dark end and cannot be mistaken for any other tone. A walking foot helps when layers slip against each other — with coated goods that is the rule. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Boiled Wool in Black/White is suitable for
- between-season and rain jackets
- seat pads and covers
- wet bags and wash bags

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to finish the edges?
Usually not — fleece, softshell and boiled wool do not fray. On woven coated fabrics you do, since the backing loosens at the edge. When in doubt, a look at the cut edge after the first wash decides.
May the piece go in the dryer?
As a rule no. Heat harms the coating. The care label names exceptions; with some finishes low warmth even revives the water repellency. Hung up, these goods dry faster than most cottons anyway.
Is the fabric breathable?
That depends on the finish. Softshell and membrane fabrics let moisture out from inside, simple coatings do not. For sport the product details are worth a look.
Is the finished piece waterproof?
The fabric is, the seams are not. Every needle makes holes. To sew genuinely watertight you seal the seams with tape or place them where water does not stand.
