BOILED WOOL THROWS – HANDCRAFTED & MADE IN ITALY

Boiled wool is one of the most authentic expressions of Italian textile tradition. Created through the ancient fulling process, which naturally compacts the fibres, it becomes a fabric renowned for its durability, warmth, softness, and distinctive texture, appreciated for centuries for combining comfort, functionality, and timeless elegance.

In the heart of Prato's textile district, where FratiHome's story began, this traditional craft continues to evolve through the expertise passed down over four generations. This is where our boiled wool throws are created, using techniques that enhance the natural qualities of the fibres. From the signature high-low texture, which creates refined three-dimensional effects, to the smooth, contemporary flat finish, every collection offers a unique interpretation of boiled wool while preserving its softness, structure, and lasting quality.

FratiHome collections include both Woolmark-certified Merino wool and refined cashmere and alpaca blends, united by the same artisan craftsmanship and manufacturing expertise that have defined the company for over sixty years. A heritage that continues to evolve while preserving the values of Made in Italy and the excellence of Prato's textile district, one of Europe's leading centres for wool manufacturing.

WOOLMARK CERTIFIED MERINO BOILED WOOL

The Soft Merinos Woolmark-certified collections represent the finest expression of FratiHome boiled wool. Crafted from Woolmark-certified Merino wool, they combine the natural fineness of the fibre with our signature high-low texture, creating depth, movement, and rich tactile character across the fabric.

Woolmark-certified Merino wool is renowned for its exceptional softness, natural warmth, and outstanding breathability, qualities that make every boiled wool throw comfortable and enjoyable throughout the year. The Woolmark certification also guarantees compliance with rigorous quality standards in the selection and processing of the wool, providing lasting assurance of authenticity, quality, and performance.

The distinctive high-low texture enhances every design within the collection, transforming the fabric into a decorative element that highlights texture, relief, and refined details with timeless elegance, reflecting FratiHome's manufacturing expertise.

THE ART OF CREATION: HOW A BOILED WOOL THROW IS MADE

Every FratiHome high-low boiled wool throw is a masterpiece of balance and Italian craftsmanship, created through a complex and fascinating artisan process.

SELECTING THE FINEST FIBRES

SELECTING THE FINEST FIBRES

We begin with carefully selected wool. The fibres are cleaned and carded to create a soft, even web, providing the perfect foundation for every boiled wool throw.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF DESIGN: WHERE ART MEETS CRAFTSMANSHIP

THE ARCHITECTURE OF DESIGN: WHERE ART MEETS CRAFTSMANSHIP

This is where the uniqueness of every boiled wool throw comes to life. Our textile designers transform every inspiration into an advanced digital textile design.

- Defining the high-low texture map, determining where the fabric will develop its signature raised and recessed texture.

- Assigning carefully selected colours to each section of the design, enhancing the raised and recessed areas of the weave.

- Creating exclusive patterns that interact with the fabric's three-dimensional texture, adding depth and visual richness.

The design is then translated into machine instructions by our technical textile programmer, combining the heritage of Prato's textile tradition with the latest textile technologies.

THE ALCHEMY OF FULLING

THE ALCHEMY OF FULLING

The heart of boiled wool. Guided by digital instructions, the wool web is immersed in temperature-controlled baths and gently agitated. During the fulling process, the fibres gradually compact, shaping the signature high-low texture while blending colours into a compact, durable, and richly three-dimensional fabric.

THE BIRTH OF THE HIGH-LOW TEXTURE

THE BIRTH OF THE HIGH-LOW TEXTURE

By precisely controlling the felting process, a distinctive three-dimensional high-low texture is created. Every raised and recessed area follows the original design, while colours blend seamlessly to enhance the fabric's depth, texture and visual richness. This unique structure:

- Creates a refined three-dimensional effect that enhances every pattern.

- Reflects light from different angles, adding depth and movement to the fabric.

- Transforms every boiled wool throw into a tactile expression of Italian craftsmans

The final touch of art

The final touch of art

The result is a boiled wool throw rich in texture, depth, and relief, bringing every detail of the design to life with elegance and authenticity.
