folclore crafts | felt - Portuguese wool fabric | dark pine

Rustic, charming, and full of character – Burel is not an off-the-shelf fabric but a true original! This traditional wool textile from Portugal brings not only history but also plenty of style to your sewing room. Whether you’re the type for urban capes or cozy country cushions – Burel easily covers both. (Or fits right into a hat, since berets work too!)

Our Burel wool fabric is made from 100% virgin wool and crafted using traditional methods – you can not only see it, you can feel it. Its typical, slightly coarse texture gives it a special tactile quality and a wonderfully rustic look. The colors? Either natural or moodily dyed – there’s a perfect shade for every project.

And the best part: Burel is not only beautiful but also truly fair – sustainably produced and made under fair conditions. Burel works just as well for small DIY ideas as for big design dreams – and it comes with a clear conscience.
