Woolfiller – Fashion Repair Workshop

Woolfiller turns holes and stains into opportunities. Heleen Klopper invented this beginner-friendly repair method using wool and felting needles: by sticking the felting needle into the wool and the garment the fibres bind together, creating a felt patch on the item. Named one of the best inventions of 2010 by Time Magazine, Woolfiller was created to make garment repair a participatory, creative and sustainable practice. Suggested items to bring for repair: sweaters, coats, thick socks, scarves, anything made at least partly from wool, even teddy bears!

Approximate duration: 2 hrs
