In this beginner-friendly workshop you learn wet felting, a process using water, soap and carded wool that can be used to make almost anything. Together you make a small faux sheepskin, made without any real skin, sometimes called a vegetarian skin. The wool is felted onto the back of pieces of hamme, which are whole fleeces cut from a sheep, giving one side a look like sheepskin and the other a felted surface. You can use it as a seat cushion, take it along on trips, or place it on your favourite chair.
Hedestrik also shares insight into the Heath, wool, plant dyeing and the Hedestrik project. The focus is on the Nordic wool that often goes unused as a by-product for Nordic sheep farmers, including its climate perspective and how to choose wool. Hedestrik's approach to knitting is based on dogme and fristrik, a counterpoint to the commercial yarn and knitting world.
