In this time where there is a lot of talk about different knitting and crocheting techniques, about various styles and influences, soft, subtle, and available types of wool, we want to take you through a somewhat forgotten topic. Take a look with us into the world of non-industrial, minimally processed wool and find inspiration in this fantastic raw material with great properties.
How much do we know about rustic, 100% sheep’s wool?
Are we prejudiced?
Can it be used for highly wearable garments of contemporary design?
Do we know how to access it, what accessories to choose, and how to maintain it?
We bring you a booklet that deals with this topic and answers these and many other questions. It is the result of several months of research, to which 10 designers and knitters from the Balkans devoted themselves.
We have prepared for you:
10 original and specially designed patterns for sweaters, pullovers, hats, collars, and other clothing items made from this wool
a fashion story told through the camera lens of award-winning fashion photographer Antonija Butković, who takes you to the location where this wool originates and offers plenty of inspiration
all tips for maintaining wool, washing creations, and choosing tools for work with a story about its properties and the experience of working with it.
The photo editorial that we bring was awarded at the international photography festival Photodays and included among the best fashion photos of 2022.
Step with us into a special story about a special raw material that we must not forget because of its impact on the environment, but also because of the beauty of working with it.
In order to reach as many people as possible with the aim of spreading awareness about this topic, the price of the entire edition is symbolic. We hope you enjoy this adventure with us.
