With the feel and qualities of boiled wool, this glorious fabric is thick and soft. As it's been washed and dried hot, expect minimal additional shrinkage. This is the fabric you'll choose for capes, jackets, superb long johns, and other winter wear. It's absolutely perfect for baby -- the color is eye-catching, the feel is soft and cozy, and the water-resistant qualities mean it'll make wonderful diaper covers, sleep sacks, and the like.

If you're used to wools that itch and bother, or think you're allergic to wool, request a sample of this marvelous fabric -- it may surprise you! (Many people react to the chemicals conventional agriculture uses in raising the sheep and processing the fibers, rather than to the wool itself.) Designed for high-end garment manufacturers (the sort who charge $700 for a pair of pants), we're delighted to offer it to you as well!

The organic merino wool is from Australia and the fabric is knit in the US.
