Repair guide

No clothing will last forever. This goes for our wool clothing made from natural materials too. Merino wool is naturally imperfect; it will show signs of use and get holes with time.

If you repair it, you expand its life. In our repair guides on this site, you can find inspiration on how to do this. Creative repairs can create a unique look and do not affect the wool in any way.

A shared universe – created by many

With a select group of talented people – each passionate about their creative craft – we have put together step-by-step guides showing you, for example, how to repair holes with patches and delicate embroidery or upcycle a piece of clothing by giving it a new purpose. We hope these will inspire you to extend the life of your clothing.
