The Minerva Core Range Boiled Wool Coating in Ivory is a premium choice for sewing enthusiasts and fashion designers looking to create structured, warm outerwear. This heavyweight, felted fabric is specifically designed for unlined coats, jackets, and winter capes, providing a professional finish with minimal fraying. While its substantial density makes it incredibly durable and warm, users should note that it requires delicate hand washing to maintain its integrity, and its heavy weight may be challenging for standard home sewing machines to navigate through multiple layers.

No, because it is boiled wool, the fibers are felted together, which makes it resistant to fraying.
No, it is recommended to hand wash this fabric to maintain the quality and structure of the boiled wool finish.
It is designed to be used as an unlined fabric, though you may add a lining if desired for personal preference or ease of layering.
A size 90/14 or 100/16 universal or sharp needle is recommended due to the heavy weight of the fabric.
The fabric is sold per meter, and multiple quantities will be cut as one continuous piece.
Use a walking foot to ensure even feeding of the thick layers and check that your needle size is appropriate for heavy weight fabric.
Always use a clean cotton pressing cloth between the iron and the boiled wool to prevent direct heat damage or flattening of the felted fibers.
Grade your seam allowances by trimming internal layers at different lengths to reduce thickness where multiple pieces overlap.
To ensure the best results, always pre-treat your fabric as you intend to wash the finished garment—in this case, via gentle hand washing in cool water. Avoid agitation to prevent unintended shrinkage or further felting.
When cutting, use sharp, professional-grade shears or a rotary cutter to navigate the dense texture cleanly. Because of the fabric's 415 gsm weight, use a size 90/14 or 100/16 universal or sharp needle for your machine. When pressing, use a steam iron on a wool setting, but avoid dragging the iron across the surface to prevent stretching; instead, use a 'press and lift' motion with a pressing cloth to protect the ivory finish.
