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.
