Sometimes all it takes is an idea

From wool that nobody wanted

When Anna Yona heard about Nordwolle, it was clear: this was the meeting of two ideas that were heading in the same direction. Marco Scheel has built up a completely regional wool value chain in northern Germany – from shearing to the finished yarn. Wool that was once considered too rough is now used to make a warm, durable material – and marks the beginning of a long-lasting partnership.

One person. One mission.

The man behind Nordwolle

Marco uses what others would throw away: The strong wool of robust sheep breeds like the Pomeranian Landschaf. These animals care for cultural landscapes through biosphere grazing, promote biodiversity – and provide a fibre with character. Once rejected as scratchy, today it is a statement against plastic and anonymous supply chains.

Wool with attitude

Genuine and natural

Undyed, unbleached – just washed, combed and spun. Nordwolle retains its natural resilience, warmth and original feel. Processed in traditional companies, it stands for genuine regionality and honest functionality.

How wool becomes a Wildling

The wool is spun, woven and processed in Portugal. This creates a natural material with functional properties. In collaboration with Nordwolle, it is turned into a Wildling – from the fibre to the finished shoe.
