Wool is a versatile and sustainable material. It can be used in textile but also construction industry, as well as in cosmetic production. The aim of the Europan Wool Day is to celebrate wool and to raise awareness on its properties and potential, highlighting the role of wool in building a sustainable economy.

A series of Fiber craft workshops will take place on Saturday the 6th in different part of Metsovo, and on Sunday the 7th there will be a roundtable discussion on “The new routes of wool towards a sustainable future” followed by a workshop on how to preserve woven and knitted textiles.
