Lovely lilac tones give this beautiful 100% Australian virgin wool a soft, romantic feel, with a gentle blend of lavender, mauve and dusty pink running through the colour. The softly felted surface has a wonderfully woolly texture, while the substantial 380–420gsm weight gives the fabric warmth, body and a reassuringly luxurious handle. It's a particularly pretty shade of lilac, with just enough depth to make it practical for winter outerwear.

Perfect for a beautifully simple winter coat, relaxed jacket or cosy coatigan, this boiled wool has the substance to create garments that hold their shape while remaining comfortable to wear. The colour pairs wonderfully with cream, charcoal, chocolate brown and deeper plum shades. It would also make a lovely gilet, cape or winter skirt. Soft and feminine without being overly sweet, this is a refreshing alternative to the usual dark winter colours.

Boiled Wool is a purely natural fabric. It has a natural lanolin protection which makes woollen products so easy to care for. Boiled wool needs to be dry/steam/fresh air cleaned.

If a boiled wool coat has just got slightly dirty, it is fine to shake or brush it out very carefully using a fine haired brush that will not damage the wool.
To get rid of unwanted smells in boiled wool garments, place them in the bathroom when you take a shower. The air humidity has a "self-cleaning" effect on wool.

Steaming to keep the fabric fresh

Please note: test on a small piece first to see how your fabric reacts to heat. Use a low heat with steam.

Steaming your wool fabric using an iron should be carried out in a methodical no rush way to ensure all areas of the fabric are covered.
Set the iron to a wool setting and hold the iron approximately 1.5cm/1 inch above the fabric. Hold the iron there for around five seconds before moving on to the next section.

Good to know

If you are in any doubt about care instructions please always test a sample first to find the most suitable way to wash your chosen fabrics, as we cannot accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
Whilst every effort is made, we cannot guarantee that the colours you see on our screen are accurate because every screen is calibrated differently and settings are set differently.
All sizes and measurement for fabrics washed or treated are approximate.
