fibre and textile crafts

The sweater was made by hand, with the help of a rubber mat, smoothing tool, soap and water.

Škofja Loka, Gorenjska, Slovenia

The craftwoman who made the jacket sources her materials mainly from Italy.

The sweater was made using the wet felting technique. Creating a seamless felted garment of this quality demands advanced knowledge of textile construction, fiber behavior, and shrinkage ratios, as wool can shrink up to 40% during the felting process. The mastery of this technique allows the artisan to craft a fully functional, form-fitting piece that is both durable and comfortable to wear.

The sweater is a functional item of clothing designed for everyday wear

The jacket was a prototype, a test piece.

Anja Musek says that her medium of expression is wool, and that she finds inspiration mainly in nature. Škofja Loka was also known for hatmaking, where the knowledge of wet felting was used by hatters to make the bases for their hats.
