Wool was once one of the most important raw materials for textiles such as clothing, blankets, socks and underwear. For centuries, wool was indispensable in everyday life. Nowadays, a large proportion of Dutch sheep’s wool goes unused or is even destroyed, despite being a versatile and sustainable natural product with unique properties.
From 23 October, discover the rich history of the Dutch wool industry and the surprising possibilities of wool today in the exhibition Worth of Wool. Admire historic woollen objects from our collection at the Schathuys and meet designers and innovators working towards a sustainable future for Dutch wool.
Be inspired by the value of a material that has more to offer than you might think.
