This first-rate knitted 100% Boiled Wool fabric boasts a True Red hue. This blue-based red is as classic as vintage red sports cars, the matte red lipstick of a '50s movie starlet, Christmas red, cherry red, and ripe strawberry red.
This iconic shade of red looks fabulous teamed with classic white and Royal blue for a nautical chic / French tricolour style. Place alongside all of your favourite denim pieces and you are also onto a winning combination. Red has a smart warmth and will certainly get you noticed.
Properties:
The standout properties of boiled wool are that this chunky woolly fabric boasts a soft and malleable drape quality, with a slight natural knitted stretch across the width and a natural ease down the length, yet is still stable and easy to work with!
The closely fused yarns mean that boiled wool does not fray so you don't need to finish or neaten the edges. You can even forgo adding a lining too, since boiled wool is cosy enough and easy enough to wear that lining isn't necessarily required. Win! Create garments with unique styles, try putting seams on the outside and use them as a feature. There are so many projects that you can get your teeth into with this one!
One part of the manufacturing (during the finishing processes) that creates boiled wool is to treat the fabric so that the knit shrinks. It is then felted together - just like if you put a jumper in the hot wash by accident, only with Boiled Wool this is a deliberate process that helps to create all those great properties that dense knitted fabrics carry. Made using bouclé looped yarns, the classic textural detail of boiled wool is apparent, adding a depth to the colour and, although all designs of this fabric are plain, the colour is definitely not 'flat'.
