Boiled wool is perfect for cool weather — warm, structured and surprisingly forgiving to sew. The raw edges don’t fray, making it ideal for clean, modern finishes. That said, there are a few clever techniques that make all the difference.
Join Megan McKee-Griffith for this focused 4-hour workshop and learn how to confidently sew with boiled wool while creating your own jacket using either the Tessuti Verona Jacket or Tessuti Berlin Jacket pattern.
Perfect for intermediate to advanced sewists ready to tackle outerwear with expert guidance.
