We warmly invite knitters to join us in the NOOF Lab for a collective knitting activation. The lab will open at 11:00 with a lecture, and from 12:00 to 18:00 the space will be dedicated to knitting together.
You’re welcome to walk in from 11:00 onward and join at any time that suits you. There’s no need to stay the whole day, the important thing is to bring your creativity and enjoy working with wool alongside others.
This activation is a way to showcase your skills, celebrate the beauty of working with wool, and share the process with the public. We’re excited to highlight your talents and to make this a lively and inspiring day together!
Don’t worry if you are new to knitting. Knitting needles and yarns are available for visitors to join in. Participants from the Regional Wool Project will be working on their projects as well, and will be happy to help you!

About your host
The Regional Wool Project began on sheep shearing day in Heeze, where wool was collected from 25 Kempisch Heideschapen—sheep that help maintain the Strabrechtse Heide. Participants received wool from a specific sheep, creating a direct link between animal, material, and maker. Others worked with pre-spun yarn from the same breed.
Over the following months, 25 makers explored techniques like spinning, knitting, crocheting, felting, dying and weaving to transform this local wool into personal projects. These handmade works will be on display during Dutch Design Week this October.
