Journey of a sheep’s fleece 2020
Asten is the first in a series of 3d
tufted rugs designed for CSrugs. The highly textured rugs will each depict a
different location that is important in the production of the fine wool that
the company uses in most of their rugs. From the Corriedale sheep in New
Zealand all the way to the rug tufting company itself, located in an industrial
site in Asten, the Netherlands. A film about the project is made by Roel van
Tour.
For an earlier project called ‘Fibre Market’, Christien Meindertsma has
shredded woolen sweaters into small fibre and created a yarn where
colourful ‘flecks’ were made out of the recycled woollen fibre. On the basis of
this principle she has mixed 10 colours with these flecks for this project that
will be combined with the Corriedale wool in the designs.
The collection will be completed in Spring 2021
