Organic wool silk cinnamon (kbt, mulesing-free)

70% wool (merino wool) / 30% silk (mulberry silk) – organic jersey/mulesing free

Our organic wool-silk fabric (kbt, mulesing-free) is produced according to the highest ecological criteria. It is therefore particularly suitable for the sensitive skin of babies and toddlers as well as for all clothing that is worn close to the skin. Outerwear is also given something very special by the delicate shimmer of the wool-silk fabric, so that the fabric is also ideal for adult clothing.

Please note that this fabric comes back to the shop from time to time as a perennial favorite and that the individual batches can differ slightly in terms of color and feel, so that it may not be possible to sew them into one piece of clothing if you want it to fit exactly.

Please note that wool is a natural product. Here it can happen that the threads are thicker in some places than in others because the wool fibers are not all the same. Dyes may not be perfectly even as some fibers take color better than others. And there can also be wool fluff in the fabric that comes from fiber flight, which cannot be completely avoided, especially when processing wool products. No piece of fabric is like the other.

Wool is naturally self-cleaning and antibacterial. It absorbs moisture without feeling clammy and transports it outwards, away from the body. Merino new wool is very finely crimped, does not scratch and is wonderfully soft and fluffy. Mulberry silk ensures a pleasantly soft and skin-soothing wearing comfort. Silk has a temperature-regulating effect, warms in cold temperatures and cools on warm days. Since wool and silk clothing only rarely needs to be washed - brushing or airing it out is usually enough - the clothing is also very easy to care for.

It is optimal if the woolen clothing is simply aired out in damp weather (e.g. in the bathroom when showering). The water vapor that meets the fabric then automatically transports away smaller dirt particles and bad odours.

If the clothes are heavily soiled, they can be washed by hand or on the wool cycle of the washing machine at 30 degrees with wool detergent.

Since wool fibers are more sensitive when wet than when dry, it is recommended to dry the wool silk lying flat on a towel.

A lot of dirt can also be removed by tapping or brushing (e.g. with the miracle brush available in the shop).

Wool silk can be sewn on the overlock as well as on the conventional sewing machine. It is important to use a stretchable stitch (e.g. zigzag stitch, pseudo-overlock stitch, etc.) and super stretch needles. The needles are specially made for very stretchy fabrics and ensure that the threads are not severed when sewing, but pushed to the side. This way there are no holes in the sewing machine in the long run. It may be helpful to lower the presser foot pressure on the sewing machine, or if this is not possible, use a walking foot. This prevents “wavy formation” when sewing.

As with other thin fabrics, it is advisable not to start sewing at the very edge of the fabric, as this can sometimes "eat" into the machine. Here you can start sewing 2-3cm from the edge and sew up the beginning after a few stitches using the reverse button. Holding onto the protruding threads and gently pulling them backwards also makes it easier to start.

Wool silk fabric is stretchier than most comparable cotton jersey. Here it can make sense to sew one size smaller than normal and to stay with the usual dress size in length. As every pattern and build is different, it is highly recommended to place well-fitting garments on top of the appropriate pattern to provide a match.
