On the Boil - with Wool (p64)

This article in Sewing with Stitches Australia vol. 17 no. 4 (on sale date 22/5/09) features a jacket made from Knitwit Boiled Wool by Carol Giles. The boiled wool is an exclusive Knitwit import from Italy.

Pattern: KwikSew 3654 ($15-95). Fabric: Knitwit Italian Boiled Wool Cream 120cm wide $39-95/m.

Carol made alterations to the pattern to get the look she wanted, and those pattern alterations are described in detail in the magazine article.

Knitwit's Italian Boiled Wool is available in 3 colours - charcoal, black and cream. Unfortunately the plum that was in the Winter 09 portfolio was snapped up by subscribers and has sold out.

If you want more inspiration on the potential of boiled wool, you could go to Google Image Search and, for argument's sake, search for boiled wool Nordstrom and see what you get.

Swatches available - If you would like to receive a free set of swatches of all 3 colours of the boiled wool, please ring us on 1300 85 2122 or
