WELCOME TO ULDENS HUS
(HOUSE OF WOOL)

In collaboration with local shepherd and sheep shearer, Kasper Ledet Hansen, we continuously work to improve the quality of the wool, while producing wonderful yarns from the wool of his sheep and lambs. Our ambition is to gain as much knowledge about the wool and the logistics of collecting Danish wool, that it can be used by larger spinning mills and be part of the Isager woolen yarns in the future.

At the same time, we wish to tell the story about the wool as part our wardrobes. The magnificent capabilities of wool and how to treat it the best possible way.

The spinning mill will be open to visitors upon registration, but we will also host workshops in spinning using an old-fashioned spinning wheel and a hand spindle, how to plant dye yarns, and in various felting methods.

The machinery is delivered by Belfast Mini Mills in Canada with financial support from LAG.
