Walk, Lana cotta (boiled wool), mostly made from pure wool is felted mecanically in warm water by the addition of soap.
During the production the initial material shrinks in length and width about 50 per cent.
Contrary to Loden, Walk materials are fabricated from knit and therefore remain elastic.
The natural material which lets the air through, is comfortable, hard-wearing, doesn’t show the dirt and is non creasing.

Walk is an easy material to process. The material doesn’t fray and therefore no seam finishing is required. This characteristic allows new processing possibilities, otherwise taboo in tailoring. Jackets and coats are often sewn without any lining at all.

How to care for Walk :
Usually it shrinks about 10% when washing it at a very low temperature in the washing-machine. Softwalk even shrinks up to 15-20%.
Due to this fact the material should always be washed before cutting it. After washing Walk it is pulled into form, dried and then steamed. Nevertheless, the producers suggest it should be dry-cleaned.
We are able to offer this very interesting and versatile material in many colours and thicknesses.
