Felt a Vest in Danish Wool: Two-Day Workshop

Over two days you will make your own felted wool vest from start to finish. You learn about wool and wet felting, build a pattern, card and lay out the wool, and finish by felting the piece. You decide the details yourself, such as whether it has a hood, an overlap, curled details or a check pattern.

The workshop at Hedestrik focuses on wool that often goes unused as a by-product from Nordic sheep farms. You will hear about sheep, wool quality and how Danish wool can help address the crisis facing the textile industry. The makers choose local wool and a dogme-inspired, hands-on approach as a counterpoint to the commercial yarn and knitting world.
