What is wool-look braid

Wool-look folding braid is a woven tape that mimics the texture and look of wool, without the drawbacks of real wool like itching or felting. It's densely woven, so the edge won't fray and you can use the braid straight away without extra finishing. The texture is slightly ribbed, which creates nice shadowing on the fabric where you sew it on. This type of braid is widely used in coat and jacket manufacturing because it gives the neat, crafted finish you get from woven woollen fabrics. Thanks to its sturdy construction, the braid stays in shape well even after washing.

Uses and Projects

This braid works well for all sorts of finishes where you need a classic, sturdy edge. Think of:
