Overview:

A first-rate knitted 100% boiled wool in a deep pink-toned red. Chunky and woolly with a soft, malleable drape, a slight natural stretch across the width and natural ease down the length, yet stable and easy to work with.

Specifications & Certification:

Weight: Medium

GSM: 410

Composition: 100% Wool

Width: 140cm / 55.1inch

Certifications: Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Mulesing-free

Laundering: Dry clean only

Colour:

Shades: Raspberry is a deep pink-toned red, as delicious as freshly picked wild berries warmed by the summer sun.

Design: Plain, though the bouclé looped yarns give a textural depth that stops the colour reading flat.

Overall: An iconic red that looks fabulous with classic white and royal blue for a nautical or French tricolour palette, and equally at home alongside denim. Red has a smart warmth and will certainly get you noticed.

Properties:

Texture: Made using bouclé looped yarns, giving the classic textural detail of boiled wool and a depth to the colour.

Handle: Soft and malleable with a slight natural knitted stretch across the width and natural ease down the length, yet stable and easy to work with.

Drape: Soft and malleable with enough body to hold a shape.

The closely fused yarns mean boiled wool does not fray, so there is no need to finish or neaten the edges. You can forgo a lining too, since it is cosy enough and easy enough to wear that lining is not necessarily required. Try putting seams on the outside and using them as a feature.

Boiled wool is made by treating the knitted cloth so it shrinks, then felting it together. Much like putting a jumper through a hot wash by accident, only here it is deliberate, and it is what creates the density and the properties that make the cloth so useful.

Garment Suggestions:

Types: Ideal for unlined coats and jackets, capes, pinafores, structured skirts and statement outerwear where the non-fraying edges can be used as a design feature.

Patterns: Coats & Jackets, Dresses

Other Uses:

Accessories: Suits structured bags, hats and slippers thanks to the felted, non-fraying edges.

Furnishings: Works well for cushion covers and upholstered seat pads.
