This is quality and versatile wool headlining fabric. Wrinkles can be removed by applying water in a fine mist then using heat, such as a hair dryer, allowing the wool to shrink, allowing for a tight and smooth fit. Simply choose a color: Off-White, Tan and Grey.

This is very nice wool. It is very difficult these days to find any wool material for headliners. For those vintage purist with old a/c that were manufactured using wool, this material is perfect. The problem here is that they only offer 3 colors, and right now two of the three are out of stock. I needed some tan for some trim to finish out a project. Other sources had minimum quantities, no burn certs and averaged well over 60 bucks a yard. So, if you can work with the colors, this stuff is great. Fairly heavy weight and seems to be treated as it is different color on each side. One side showing a coating of some type, maybe for moths or fire? The tan was not exactly tan in my book but close. It appears a little dark with an orange hue to it. I wish I could post a picture as you can not get samples either. You will need to buy a yard and see if it works. Shop around and you will find it is priced very well considering it is fire certified.
Great, high quality wool head liner that behaved nicely. 3 yards was more than enough to do our Cessna 150B, as can be seen on our Facebook page (Recover Your Cub).
The fabric is heavier/thicker than I expected. Very nice. I think that the GRAY color leans towards taupe, which worked well for my application. The product listing states that the FAR burn cert is included. I did not receive one. I had to ask for it and subsequently received it thru email. Aircraft Spruce gets one demerit for that.
Gray Wool Headliner Mat
I purchased an off white wool headliner for my 175. it took 2 months to get it which is not a problem but when I received my headliner it is a very yellow hue, not anything close to an off white. The color is so wrong for offwhite. When you take a picture of the off white it appears to be white but looking at it in person it is yellow tint.

All of our headliner material comes with a FAR 25.853 burn cert.
I could not find a specific adhesive for wool material, but 3M 1300 contact cement is used in similar applications. We suggest consulting with a headliner installer for more suggestions on adhesives that can be used.
No, we do not offer samples but can sell as little as 1 yard.
