Kempisch Heideschap felt
Designer felt on a roll made from 100% Kempisch Heath Sheep wool
100% Dutch designer felt from Kempisch Heath Sheep
The felt is made with wool from the Dutch Kempisch Heath Sheep. Due to the rise of synthetic materials, almost no Dutch wool has been used for about 30 years. As a result, the wool industry in the Netherlands has virtually disappeared. The Knitwit Stable is committed to gradually making the sustainable processing and production of wool in the Netherlands possible again. After all, wool is a strong, easily recyclable and biodegradable material. The sheep of grazing company de Wassum largely graze on protected heathlands in the Netherlands, which contributes to keeping the landscape fertile. In the felt, you can still find pieces of straw and other plant material that remind you of the grazing on the heath. By making this designer felt, we are taking another step towards using Dutch wool.
