The Regional Wool Project

Written By Haiko

During Wool: (Re)discovered at Dutch Design Week we presented The Regional Wool Project. This NOOF community project, traces fibres back to 25 sheep from the Strabrechtse Heide. Each maker either received raw wool from one sheep, or a cone of local wool. They transformed it through techniques such as spinning, knitting, felting, dyeing, and weaving. The project highlights how local fibres and handmade crafts can serve as an accessible entry point for engaging with regenerative textiles.
