During the weekend of September 8 - 10, we presented the final outcome of the project "Wool in the North" at the Pakhusstrik yarn festival in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"Wool of the North" is a collaboration with Sommer Akademiet in Norway and partners in Scotland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, led by the Textile Center and funded by NORA. The project started in 2021. One of the main aims was to develop textile and wool themed slow tourism in the North Atlantic region. Our project manager Svanhildur Pálsdóttir and her team introduced the project to interested participants at Pakhusstrik; Dorthea Joensen from the Faroe Islands presented a lecture on the project and its main focus: wool!
