Wool Fabrics FAQs
Wool is a natural protein fibre sourced from sheep and other animals. Its naturally crimped structure creates tiny insulating air pockets, giving wool its characteristic warmth, resilience and breathability. Once shorn, the fibres are cleaned, spun into yarn and woven into fabric, resulting in a textile valued for its comfort, durability and timeless appeal in interiors.
Wool fabrics offer warmth, breathability and durability. Their soft, tactile character and natural ability to help regulate temperature make them well suited to both upholstery and curtaining, bringing comfort, texture and refinement to interior spaces.
Yes. Wool is highly versatile and can be used for both curtaining and upholstery. Its strength and resilience make it well suited to upholstered furniture, while its natural drape and weight allow it to perform beautifully as a curtain fabric.
Wool is naturally resistant to creasing due to the elasticity of its fibres. It recovers well from compression and everyday use, helping fabrics maintain their appearance and shape over time.
Wool is recognised for its natural flame-resistant characteristics. It can be more difficult to ignite than many other textile fibres and may self-extinguish when the source of ignition is removed. However, fire performance depends on factors such as fabric construction, application and any additional treatments. For commercial, contract or regulated environments, specific fire safety requirements should always be confirmed before specification.
Wool is a natural fibre valued for its durability, longevity and ability to perform well over time. Environmental characteristics can vary depending on farming practices, fibre sourcing and manufacturing processes. When selecting wool fabrics, it is helpful to consider product-specific information and any relevant certifications where available.
Our wool fabrics are available by the metre, providing flexibility for a wide range of interior projects. Samples can also be ordered to experience the texture, weight and quality in your own space before making a selection.
