Charcoal blue organic wool terry (100% wool (merino, organic, mulesing-free))

Our organic wool terry fabric (kbt, mulesing-free) is produced according to the highest ecological criteria. This fabric is ideal for the transitional period for pants, sweaters, pajamas, sleeping bags or as a jacket material. In terms of thickness, it can be compared to a summer sweat fabric. Also ideal for cloth diaper covers. Smooth and soft on one side and loops typical of terry cloth on the other. As far as we know, we are the first supplier in the German-speaking region to produce wool terry cloth by the metre. We recommend pre-washing the fabric as it can shrink by around 8%.

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. Since wool clothing only rarely needs to be washed - beating 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 there is mud or the like, you can wait until the mud has dried and then simply tap or shake it out.

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. In winter, we recommend washing on a cold wool cycle, otherwise the difference between 30 degrees and cold rinsing water in the washing machine may be too great. Wool does not like strong temperature fluctuations.

We also recommend a pre-wash for terrycloth, as the fabric can shrink by around 10% depending on the washing method.

Since wool fibers are more sensitive when wet than when dry, it is recommended that wool be dried lying flat on a towel.

We advise against using the miracle brush for wool terry cloth, otherwise loops can be pulled onto the smooth side or the brush can get tangled up in loops on the loop side.

Ganz wichtig - Wolle ist ein Naturprodukt und auch eins, was bei jeder Schur und jeder Schafherde leicht anders sein kann. Jeder Stoff kann von der Haptik leicht anders sein als die Stoffe davor. Beim Spinnen ist ein komplett gleichmäßiger Faden nicht möglich, so dass immer mal wieder dünnere und dickere Stellen im Stoff sind, die von unterschiedlichen Fadendicken herrühren (vor allem, wenn dann an zwei/drei Reihen hintereinander zufällig immer dicke oder zufällig immer genau dünne Stellen der Fäden auftauchen).

Kein Stück Naturstoff ist wied das Andere.

Wool terry 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 "wave formation" when sewing. As with other stretchy fabrics, it's a good idea not to start sewing at the very edge of the fabric, as this can sometimes "bite" 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.
