In The Swedish Wool Initiative, partners jointly explored if wool waste from one actor in yarn production could be someone else’s resource. The case was built on the fact that different applications require different qualities and yarn thickness. It started with one wool fiber fraction which was spun to a yarn suitable for furniture. The residue streams were blended into another wool fiber fraction and a yarn for carpets was produced. Even in this process, some fibers became separated. Those were blended with a third wool fiber fraction and by needle punching (felting), a fabric was manufactured.
