Boiled wool double knit fabric in a dark grey marl colour.  Althought the fabric composition is pure wool, it is exceptionally soft and even cuddly.  Not a very heavy fabric but relatively lofty and bulky for its weight.  Fabric is opaque with some drape, and feels a bit springy in the hand.  Both sides look identical.  Suitable for clothing such as coatigans, cardigans, slouchy turtlenecks, pullovers, fisherman-style sweaters, knit dresses, menswear and kids wear.  Gentle hand-washing in cold water or dry-cleaning is recommended.  Swatches are available, leave a note at checkout if you'd like one.

Wool is naturally odour-resistant, breathable, moisture-wicking (so it dries really quickly), and temperature-regulating.  I personally can't wear regular sheeps wool, but I find all the wool fabrics in the shop comfortable to wear and not scratchy at all - still, please buy with care if your skin is very sensitive. 

Here are some ideas for what to make with boiled wool from ChCh sews and Croft Mill.
