A boiled wool from Lady McElroy is a classic and timeless wool. Boiled wools like this are hard to find and even harder to find at an affordable price. This beautiful boiled wool has a warm, thick hand and a gently-structured drape. Boiled wool is first knitted and then washed -- through this washing process the wool fibers are lightly felted, resulting in a fabric that is dense and opaque. It is perfect for jackets and coats, and because boiled wool doesn't fray, it is a great choice for unlined and raw-edge garments.
