Worstead-style Boiled Pure Wool Fabric, 56" Wide, 390 GSM
$28.54Excl. T.V.A.
Description
A rich, grounded boiled wool in a warm tan tone, offering depth, warmth, and quiet strength. At 390 GSM, this is a true heavyweight wool—dense, insulating, and protective—yet composed and refined rather than bulky. The boiling process gives the surface a soft, felted character with subtle texture and visual calm, making it ideal for architectural garments and enduring outer layers. This fabric reads heritage-forward and purposeful: designed for longevity and form.
2) How the Fabric Is Made
The fabric begins as a woven wool cloth, then undergoes controlled boiling (fulling)—a process that uses heat, moisture, and agitation to partially felt the fibers. This causes the fabric to shrink and densify, closing gaps in the weave and creating a stable, wind-resistant structure. The result is a compact wool with reduced fraying, excellent insulation, and a smooth, unified surface that holds shape exceptionally well.
