Learn to Sew - How to sew with Boiled Wool

[@Set-Apart-Alex]

This video is invaluable to me. Trying so hard to learn the basics of sewing quality fabrics like linen and wool. When you have noone to teach you in person, and were never taught these things growing up, its like you're a mom to us. Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom.

Great tips Jo. I am planning a winter jacket in boiled wool. M going to take my time. I have a problem with large bicep some times and need to get that right. Had a struggle with that before.

[@MinervaDotCom]

Sounds great!

[@joanneroberts1088]

[@olive5890]

Hi Jo, do all these tips apply to melton wool also? Great video!

[@MinervaDotCom]

Yes lots of them apply to different wool fabrics 😊

[@sally-anneredhead9818]

Thank you so much for the tip about scissors! I'm making the Bianca coat in a stunning moss green boiled wool and finishing the edges in a varigated thread on my overlocker.

[@judykauffman9947]

Is it recommended to wash your boiled wool fabric prior to sewing?

[@MinervaDotCom]

We recommend hand washing or dry cleaning boiled wool - However, you can always test a sample in your washing machine

I’m looking to create a cape like coat (Zara 3692/951/524) but I live in a cold climate, is boiled wool a good option? Should I opt for something warmer?
