Wool navy waterrepelling

The classic coat wool

The wool coat is a classic! And while you can design and sew a wool coat from many different types of wool, you'll get the classic look when you choose this wadding for your project. In short, it's a look that never goes out of fashion and is perfect for children, young people and adults alike.

That said, you naturally calf's wool is usable for all sorts of other things. The material is long lasting and water-repellent, making it ideal for outerwear. For example, have you considered a short jacket - perhaps with a zip - or a roomy poncho that's easy to pull over your head and cosy to snuggle up in? 

We also use the wool for shirts with pockets, where the heavy felted quality gives the shirt a pretty cool look. 

Homespun - what is it?

Homespun is a lightweight twill woven wool that has been processed with water, soap, heat and beating, then scratched up to give you a dense structure that is virtually windproof and waterproof.

Originally, wadding was made from pure wool and used, for example, for work wear. Today, it is often a blended product to ensure the best possible quality.
