Wool fleece made from the wool of Czech sheep, ready for further use. Sold by the metre for your creative and artistic projects. The fleece holds together firmly, is less pliable and retains its shape well. Suitable for making quilted seat cushions and sitting pads. Ideal for insulating beehives thanks to its weight and thickness.
Contains plant matter, which is a sign of gentle processing.

100% Czech sheep’s wool
Made in the Czech Republic.
At home after unpacking your order:
The box will usually be overflowing (and smelling wonderfully) of wool. Simply unfold the wool materials at home and, if they have lost some of their volume, they will soon regain it. The original shape and creases from transport can be restored in a minute using steam from an iron (not ironing! Simply hold the iron — set to the lowest temperature — approximately 2 cm above the material and release steam). For a slower process, spread the material out on a table and leave it there. It works best by an open window during rainy weather, when the wool fibres absorb moisture from the air and the creases naturally disappear.
Care:
Wool fleece from Czech sheep that has already been sewn into your unique products should be aired regularly and refreshed with steam. Unprocessed fleece should also be aired regularly.
Minor stains on fleece sewn into products can be gently dampened locally and hand-washed using gall soap or an ecological wool detergent. The water temperature must not exceed 25–30°C. After washing, do not wring. Instead, gently press the fleece between your palms to release the water. It can also be washed on an extra-gentle washing machine cycle — the symbol with the tub underlined twice, at a maximum of 30°C. Lay the product flat on a towel, away from direct sunlight, and allow it to dry thoroughly.
If the product needs to be smoothed, place a damp cloth (soaked and wrung out) over the fabric and press gently with an iron. Do not iron directly; simply press and lift.
In case of heavy soiling, take the product to a professional dry cleaner experienced in the gentle chemical cleaning of Czech wool materials.
