Closer to the sheep...

...with local wool!
It is a terrible shame to use merino wool from Australia while the european wool is transported in containers to East Asia. We wanted to change this situation and tested the suitability of several merino wool from France and Germany for the making of woven fabrics.

From shearing to fabric

Loom weaving of our wool

Handloom is the only way to weave our hand-crafted spun wool

The loom inthe bavarian forest

Each loom is carefully adjusted for a specific type of wool and thus a specific type of yarn.

Measure of the warp yarn

Before being woven the yarns are measured and cut according to the required length.

A handmade fabric

The warp and the weft are made of a three times twisted yarns.

The whiteness and robustness of the german merino fibres are exceptional. This wool lends itself ideally to the creation of elegant and colourful outdoor clothes that can stand the test of time, like the sheep facing the harsh and wet winters of our region.

The work of transhumanz.org supports the breeding of sheep in Bavaria not for their meat but for their wool, as it was the case in our region more than a century ago. Part of our wool can thus stay in our region instead of being shipped in a container to China.
Markus, bavarian shepherd

Each breed has been selected for its adaptation to the local climate. That is why we believe that there is no "good" or "bad" wool. Our objective is to help maintain the diversity of sheep and their wools, in particular the Eastern Merinos, present in South Germany and East of France.

After the washing the wool must be passed several times between large cylinders covered with staples that separate the fibres and distributed them: the cards.

Carding of the wool.

At the exit of the cardboard, the wool tape is separated into mini-ribbons wrapped around an axis that will be placed in front of the spinner.

The carded wool is separated into ribbons

Once spun, the wool is wrapped on three cones from which the wires are woven together.
