Wool spinning mill Vetsch / Wollspinnerei Vetsch
From there we have our wool. <3
It is swiss wool which is also completely processed here. All dyes are ökotex and bluesign certificated.
>> Carpet wool on cones (Larain-wool is thinner, use it double, it runs with both guns (cut & loop), Falar-wool is thicker, goes only with the loop-gun), say dear greetings to the family Vetsch from us :)
