Description
A luxuriously soft 100% boiled wool in a gorgeous, rich chestnut brown. A deep, warm chocolate shade with subtle reddish, almost burnt-orange undertones, reminiscent of polished horse chestnuts. A fabulous colour for Autumn and Winter and one that’s very much on trend.
This gorgeous fabric has a wonderfully soft, cosy feel with a lovely textured surface and a substantial yet flexible handle. Naturally warm and insulating, boiled wool is a fantastic choice for coats, jackets and all those lovely layering pieces that make colder-weather dressing so enjoyable.
Perfect for little cropped jackets, classic coats, waistcoats, sleeveless vests and cosy layering pieces. It would also make a fabulous cape if you fancy channelling your inner The Traitors style!
One of the wonderful things about boiled wool is that its felted structure means it can often be left with raw edges without fraying. This makes it particularly lovely for some of the simple, contemporary jacket and coat patterns from Tessuti Fabrics and Style Arc, where the fabric itself can really shine. Choose a lined or unlined design depending on the style and finish you’re looking for.
Even better, this is a deadstock fabric! We’ve been fortunate enough to source this beautiful quality wool at a fantastic price, and we’re delighted to pass those savings on to you. A wonderful opportunity to sew something really special using 100% wool without the usual premium price tag.

Professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the quality, texture and appearance of this 100% boiled wool. We do not recommend machine washing or hand washing, as this may cause shrinkage, further felting or changes to the fabric’s texture.
