How wool becomes clothing

In the museum village, everything revolves around clothing. Whether wool from freshly shorn Skudden, an old breed of sheep, whether hemp fiber or flax: from the raw material to the finished piece of clothing, the different manufacturing processes can be clearly experienced.

And if you want, you can spin, felt, weave, dye or sew yourself!
