Working with wool

Woolworking: An Ancestral Art Reinvented

Wool, this noble and versatile material, has been at the heart of Breton craft traditions for centuries. Used to create warm and durable clothing, it embodies the perfect balance between authenticity and innovation. Here are the steps that transform raw wool into exceptional creations in our workshop.

1. Knitting: The Art of Stitching

Knitting is one of the most iconic techniques for working with wool. This process involves interlacing the fibers using needles to create soft and resistant fabrics. In Brittany, knitters are famous for their hand-knitted wool sweaters , renowned for their unmatched warmth and comfort.

2. Spinning: From Raw Wool to Perfect Yarn

Spinning is a key step where raw wool is twisted to become a thread ready to be worked. Historically, Breton artisans used manual spinning wheels , symbols of authentic know-how, to transform the wool. Today, modern machines have replaced these tools, while preserving the artisanal spirit of yesteryear.
