Over two days you will make your own felted wool vest from start to finish. The course covers the basics of wool and wet felting, how to make a pattern (mall), and how to design the vest yourself, including choices about hood, wrap style, collar details and pattern.
The process moves step by step: you begin with the pattern, then card and lay out the wool, and finally felt it. The workshop is run by Hedestrik, which wants to draw attention to the wool that goes unused as a by-product on Nordic sheep farms. The teaching also covers sheep breeds, wool quality, and how Danish wool could help address the crisis facing the textile industry, with a focus on craft skills and sustainability.
