Kempisch Heideschap felt
Design felt on the roll of 100% Kempisch Heideschaap wool
100% Dutch design felt from Kempisch Heideschaap
The felt is made with wool from the Dutch Kempisch Heideschaap. Due to the emergence of synthetic materials, almost no Dutch wool has been used for about 30 years. As a result, the wool industry from the Netherlands has virtually disappeared. The Knitwit Stable is committed to making the sustainable processing and production of wool in the Netherlands possible again little by little. After all, wool is a strong, easy to recycle and biodegradable material. The sheep of grazing company De Wassum largely graze on protected heathland areas in the Netherlands, which helps to keep the landscape fertile. In the felt you can also find pieces of straw and other plant material that remind you of grazing on the heath. By making this design felt, we are taking another step towards using Dutch wool.
