The Almere Wool Union on the Floriade


Consisting of thousands of woolen patches, colored with natural dyes, this all-seeing eye looks out into the world. 


 On the inside, we are surprised by a wall of weck bottles all filled with natural dyes (made by members of the Wool Union) through which the light falls beautifully. 
The Almeerse Wolunie processes wool from Almeerse sheep (about 250 sheep with about 5 kilos of wool each) into specially designed products (e.g. scarf, hat or bag). 
Participants of the Wolunie help with the processing of the raw wool: washing, carding, dyeing, felting, spinning and then knitting or crocheting. Of course they get to keep the product at the end of the process! A unique concept in which the wool of Almere is processed into a beautiful product with the help of Almere people.One for Sami's Colourful World here.

  5. Good to see wool being taken seriously as it has been replaced by so many synthetic fibers these days. I still prefer wool. The huge eye is compelling art.
