Our gorgeous 100% wool fabric is perfect for creating oh-so cosy vests, tunics, berets, coats, and jackets. If you’re looking for pattern inspiration, we have several patterns from Style Arc and Tessuti available instore. We are also repeating our Amara workshop too.

The production process for boiled wool involves shrinking the material, resulting in a dense felted fabric that resists fraying and further shrinkage.

Also good to know is our boiled wool is very competitively priced. We benchmark prices and the average retail for exactly the same product is £27+. At Hometown, our boiled wool is £24/m.

Manufacturer: John Louden, 100% wool

140-145cm / 55-57-in wide, 380 gsm

Manufacturer washing instructions – a gentle cold-to-lukewarm bath (an actual bath would be good where it can spread out and not need moving much) with a specific wool wash. Avoid agitation or wringing. Carefully rinse and roll and press in a towel to remove excess water. We strongly recommend testing a small piece first to be sure.

This fabric is priced and sold by the quarter metre (equivalent price is £24/m). So for 1 metre, add a quantity of 4 to your basket; for 1.5m, add 6; for 2m, add 8 and so on. Larger quantities are always cut as a continuous length.
