Wol Fabryk Fryslân

From Frisian sheep wool to a new, circular future

For years, Weids Wonen & Slapen has been committed to the use and reuse of natural materials. From this conviction, the idea emerged to do something with a raw material that for a long time received hardly any value in the Netherlands: sheep wool.

Together with local partners, Wol Fabryk Fryslân was therefore established. An innovative and local initiative in which Frisian sheep wool is collected, washed, processed, and repurposed into high-quality products.

The goal is clear: to give wool value again and build a local, circular wool chain.

Imagine this: you’ve had a busy day and by the afternoon you’re really in need of a power nap. Just a quick recharge before tackling the rest of your to-do list. You close your eyes for 20 minutes… but it quickly turns into 2 hours. Before you know it, you’ve fallen into a deep sleep and wake up feeling completely disoriented. As a result, you often feel even more tired than before, and even less gets done from your to-do list.

I always hear my colleague talking about how wonderfully she sleeps on her wool underblanket. At first, I didn’t quite understand why. Of course, an underblanket is comfortable to sleep on but isn’t it just like a topper? That’s when I was quickly corrected! Because there are definitely differences. But what makes a good underblanket? And what exactly is the difference between an underblanket and a topper?

A question we get asked very often: can I wash my duvet? And if so, how should I do it?

Whether a duvet can be washed naturally depends on the type. Some duvets are very suitable for washing, while for others we do not recommend it. Always follow the care instructions on the label. To make things clearer, we’ve provided specific advice for each type of duvet!
