Het Woolly Collectief
A modern atelier
and wool lab
We offer a playground for curious and creative individuals looking to explore the possibilities of wool. While Het Woolly Collectief is firmly grounded in the traditions of the Belgian wool and textile industries, we take a modern approach to circularity, production, and education.
Our space houses several laboratory spaces, teaching spaces, and even a shop. The atelier is intended to support the development and teaching of new processing and product development techniques for the application of wool in agriculture, natural dyeing, construction, interior design, fashion, medtech, and other sectors.
We are regularly developing opportunities for people to come and learn about wool and its wider use, whilst providing a space to experiment, play, and explore the possibilities of wool. Farmers, students, designers, teachers, craftspeople, and consumers are all welcome!
