Colour:
As its name suggests, this quality wool fabric is knitted from fine all-wool yarns of a pleasing, grey and black melange like the coat of a mysterious grey wolf - the particular sigil of a certain fictitious family. This even mix of mid-grey and black creates a superb hardwearing style.
Properties:
Boiled wool fabric is treated so that the knit shrinks together (just like when you put your favourite jumper in the hot wash by accident). This densely knitted fabric boasts a soft yet heavy drape quality with reassuring warmth, and natural ease, length and widthwise. The closely knitted yarns mean that boiled wool hardly frays and is stable and easy to work with! There are so many satisfying projects that you can get your teeth into.
Garment Suggestions:
The best thing about boiled wool is that you don't have to finish or neaten the edges, garments look quirky and unique even if you put the seams on the outside!
Make unlined waistcoats with a few simple seams, add patch pockets and you'll have a warm, easy-to-wear and quick-make garment that you'll be proud to wear! Simple dresses, tunics, pinafores and cardigans/jackets (we recommend the Morris Blazer by Grainline Studio Patterns), waterfall front coatigans, wraps, ponchos and capes are all easy enough for beginner sewists using this versatile fabric.
Customise yours with needle-felted or embroidered pockets or add a fancy trim to the edges. Boiled wool is also brilliant for smaller craft projects such as hats, scarves and bags, not to mention the comfort factor and insulating properties that we know wool is good for!
We think Stark Grey will make superb cosplay and historical reenactment garments! Game of Thrones Fans perhaps?
Other Uses:
This super dense and heavy-boiled wool will make superb hats, bags etc!
