Whalkloden - what is it?
Traditionally, Walkloden fabric is made of pure sheep's wool. The wool threads are first woven and then machine-rolled. This means that the fabric is repeatedly kneaded, compressed, pressed and moved in warm, slightly acidic water. This felts the threads and the material becomes denser and less sensitive.
After fulling, the fabric is spun, dried, sometimes dyed and roughened. Then protruding fibers are shortened by shearing. Finally, the loden fabric is impregnated.
Modern whalecloth fabrics are made from a mix of sheep's wool and viscose. This makes them lighter, thinner and more flowing than traditional variants.
What are the advantages of rolled loden yardage?
With its tightly woven, matted fibers, Walkloden fabric is:
- resistant,
- fixed,
- durable,
- and cuddly.
In addition, thanks to natural wool fat loden fabric yardage, it is inherently slightly dirt and water repellent. With additional impregnation, you can keep dirt and water away even better. Due to its high density, the fabric also keeps the wind out.
What is the suitability of walkloden fabric?
Whaled loden offers optimal properties for outdoor and winter clothing such as coats and jackets. Because air is trapped in the fabric during the fulling process, the loden fabric works:
- heat insulating,
- moisture regulating and
- temperature balancing.
In addition, rolled loden is breathable and offers high wearing comfort. If you find the surface of the material rough or scratchy, you can line the inside with soft fabrics like jersey.
How do you care for whalecloth properly?
Contact with water and soap can damage the fabric structure and adversely affect the good properties of the material. Usually it is enough to brush out dirt and dust when dry. You can remove bad odors by airing thoroughly.
If absolutely necessary, you should wash whalecloth with cold to lukewarm water. Too hot water will shrink the material. You should avoid the spin cycle as well as the use of the tumble dryer. If necessary, you can iron the fabric from the left and at low temperature.
