History of Burel wool:
Rustic fabric made from 100% carded sheep wool. The Burel sheet results from several specific stages in the manufacturing process. After the raw wool has been sheared, washed and spun, it is put into warping and then onto the loom. Once weaving is complete, the fabric will be pounded to tighten the threads. The sheet shrinks and gains density, giving the fabric its strength and natural impermeability to water, wind and cold.
