Guided by a simple but powerful vision — Farm, Fleece, Fashion, Future — we're on a mission to bring New Zealand's extraordinarily strong wool back into everyday life.

We run hands-on workshops in wet felting, needle felting and weaving for all skill levels, support artists, designers, educators and students, and provide access to specialist textile knowledge and machinery you won't find anywhere else. We develop wool-based products and prototypes, and passionately advocate for natural fibres as a real, beautiful alternative to planet-harming synthetics.
