WOLWEVERS dekens is een ode aan het Nederlandse schaap, het ambacht van het weven en de schoonheid van wol.
Wij weven radicaal lokaal op een historisch weefgetouw in het Weverijmuseum in Geldrop, gevestigd in een voormalige wollenstoffenfabriek.

Designed to honour Craftmenship
Wolwever blankets are designed to honour craftmenship in textiles. Every piece is first sampled in handlooms, then tested with our mechanical loom at the weverijmusem. This allows for a rich exploration. Through careful selection of yarns and patterns, we aim for a wealth in verity of blankets, which will be available for custom small scale products.
