Notes from the designer: Each textile is individually handcrafted, resulting in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces where no two are exactly alike. We welcome you to share your personal preferences so we can tailor the creation to your specific vision.

Description: This thick and structured fabric would be ideal for a coat or a sculptural piece that requires a lot of structure. Seen as it is double sided this could be explored in a reversible garment.

Textile/Material: A structured thinner wool fabric with a hairy surface. The sapphire blue moss contrasts with the black wool as it sprouts through. The underside of the fabric reveals the vibrant blue fibers laid in one smooth direction pierced in a gridded formation.

Impact on Planet/People/Animals: The black wool base fabric was a leftover scrap material sourced from the AMFI textile bins. The merino wool fiber is produced in the EU, sourced from a small-scale farm that follows organic production principles, guarantees a mulesing-free process, and prioritizes animal welfare.

Construction:

• Composition: 100% WO
• Raw Materials: Wool, Merino Wool
• Coloration: Yarn dyed, Fiber dyed
• Sourcing: AMFI and Meaningful Crafts
• Weave: Weave + Non Woven

Circularity: The material is never finished, it can be constantly changed and re-adapted. More wool can be added to achieve a different quality and drape. The material is composed of 100% wool, it can therefore be processed and shredded apart altogether creating a recycled fiber to be re-felted. This can be combined with virgin wool to better the quality.

Recipe: Three thin layers of wool fiber were laid out on the inside of the wool fabric. Using an industrial needle punching machine at studio Boldwool, I passed the fabric twice through the machine. I ensured to keep the blue side facing up towards the needles so that they would punch the fibers downwards through the wool base. To create the tunnels, I pinched the fabric in different curves and formations, then pinned and sewed them shut using a sewing machine.
