What you can expect

Live a unique experience in Sardinia by discovering the wonderful path of the wool supply chain, surrounded by vineyards and animals in an authentic natural context a few steps from Olbia.
A special opportunity to get to know every phase of the process up close, from the sheep to the finished fabric, in full respect of nature and ancient Sardinian traditions. Guided by an expert craftswoman, you will follow all the processes step by step: from washing wool to carding, from hand spinning to weaving on traditional looms, built according to techniques handed down for generations. The absolute protagonist is the wool of Sardinian sheep raised on site, including the fascinating black sheep of Arbus, an endangered native breed that you can get to know up close.
A perfect activity for those who love crafts, sustainable tourism and want to take home authentic and unforgettable memories.
