About Our Fabric
Characteristics of wool fabric
Wool is an entirely natural product and it is made at one of our heritage British mills.
Wool is a versatile natural fiber made from sheep and other animals' coats, known for its natural temperature regulation, elasticity, and breathability.
Its crimped structure traps air for insulation, making it warm in cold weather while also wicking moisture to keep you cool in hot weather. Wool is also durable, wrinkle-resistant, flame-resistant, and biodegradable. Owing to the nature of how the wool is dyed and woven there can be variations in the colour across batches, but we see this as the beauty of natural fibres.
Suitable for contract upholstery, contract curtains, domestic curtains and accessories.
BRITISH STANDARDS
Meets BS EN 1021.1-2.2006 (Cigarette & Match) for domestic upholstery. Meets BS EN 5867.2 Type B for contract curtains (with in-house FRT). Can be treated in-house to meet BS 5852 Part 2. Crib 5 for contract upholstery.
We try to offer the very best in our fabrics but we do have to work around an entirely natural product (unlike a uniform cotton panama or polyester which would offer very few problems in consistency). Please take this into consideration when purchasing our products. It is important to order a sample prior to purchasing for colour checking and look and feel of the physical wool.
Colour
The colour of our fabrics may vary slightly from batch to batch. Although we strive to achieve perfection, the nature and beauty of wool is due to its unevenness and this can result in very slight imperfections.
All of our wools are woven by the very best mill who has been doing this for over 100 years, the wools are checked for quality, colour and construction.
Fabric care
We recommend dry-cleaning only.
Construction and cut
We aim to have square warp and weft constructions but this is not always possible in wool due the the irregular yarns the various processes the wools are put through and re rolled at differing tensions. We have to have a tolerance for this and our acceptability is up to 3.8cm.
