Boiled Wool
Boiled Wool Fabric for Cosy Garments
Our boiled wool is selected for modern makers who want warmth, structure, and comfort in their handmade garments. Boiled wool fabric is created by treating wool so it becomes denser and slightly felted, resulting in a fabric that is warm, stable, and easy to work with. It has natural insulation while remaining breathable, making it a popular choice for cooler weather sewing.
At MaaiDesign Fabrics, we curate boiled wool with practical dressmaking projects in mind. This fabric is well suited to jackets, coats, vests, skirts, and relaxed outer layers that benefit from shape without heavy construction. Clear product descriptions and helpful details support confident online shopping, especially when choosing heavier fabrics. All fabrics are sold in 25cm increments and cut continuously, making it easy to order the right amount. While colours may vary slightly by screen, we aim to present each fabric as accurately as possible. If you are unsure whether boiled wool suits your project, no worries. Just ask and we will help.
Boiled wool fabric is appreciated for its ease of sewing and forgiving nature. It does not fray, holds its shape well, and creates garments that feel cosy and comfortable to wear. Many sewists enjoy boiled wool for outerwear projects that need warmth without complex finishing.
Most orders are packed and dispatched within 1 to 2 business days, with tracking included. Our Happiness Guarantee and 30 day returns provide reassurance, so you can shop with confidence and enjoy the making process from fabric choice to finished garment.
