A beautifully deep marine blue boiled wool with a soft, felted surface and a rich, understated colour. Made from 100% wool, this fabric weighs approximately 380–420gsm, giving it a substantial, cosy feel whilst retaining enough flexibility for comfortable outerwear. Its classic blue tone sits somewhere between navy and royal blue, offering a lovely alternative to darker winter shades.
At 140cm wide, this fabric is well suited to coats, relaxed jackets, coatigans, gilets and warm winter skirts. The compact, boiled finish helps minimise fraying whilst providing gentle structure, making it a good choice for simple unlined designs or more traditional lined garments. A versatile colour that pairs beautifully with cream, camel, grey and contrasting brighter shades.
