Stor dag för Swedish Textile idag!

Idag vad min sista dag på Klättermusen AB!
Men det är med lite blandade känslor i kroppen. Samtidigt som jag ser framemot tiden som kommer framöver, så kommer jag att sakna Klättermusen, alla härliga kollegor, alla goda minnen och livet i Åre.

Det ska bli spännande och kul med nya utmaningar, men också lite nervöst och läskigt. Flytt till en helt ny stad. Börja bygga en fabrik, i princip från grunden, lösa både tekniska och logistiska utmaningar där jag både måste gräva fram gammal kunskap, men också lära mig mycket nytt.

Nu inleds en ny och expansiv tid på Swedish Textile, tillsammans med Rebecca, där drömmar blir till verklighet.

Jag hoppas att ni vill följa vår resa i att öppna ett modernt ullspinneri i mitten av Sverige.

Vi har som mål att bli lite mer aktiva på både sociala medier och LinkedIn, så framöver kommer det lite mer uppdateringar på diverse plattformar.

/ William

Ps. Rebecca la order på spinnmaskinen idag. by @w_lantz

First week as an apprentice at @walstedts has been spent classifying Swedish wool. A little more than 2,5 tonnes of wool has been classified within the project Swedish Wool Initiative. Parts of this we will spin into yarn at Wålstedts the coming months, then woven into fabric like traditional vadmal and twill. by @w_lantz

Complexity of natural sourced materials - Wool:

Wool is generally seen as a great material, with a natural temperature regulation, keeping and building warmth whilst wet and being fairly strong. Compared to synthetic alternatives it might be seen as superior.

But when talking about wool we soon run into some problems. Animal welfare is, and have been, a large topic addressing issues of mulesing and handling in general. Sheep are ruminants, known for contributing to more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, compared to non-ruminants. Handling livestock in general is connected to various emissions.

There is a complexity in this that isn’t always talked about. Farmers contribute to other values in our environment that are harder to calculate on in comparison to CO2 emissions. This is especially true in a Swedish context. Free grazing animals contribute to a higher bio-diversity, it affects the society by enabling a striving countryside with more job opportunities, and in Sweden the wool is in many cases a by-product from the meat industry. Of course, when making calculations, the meat and wool should share the impact and emissions but in general this means a fairly low emission for Swedish wool.

At the same time the plastic alternatives derived from raw oil will contributing to funding for oil producing countries, possibly leading to more emissions than the sheep will ever create. by @w_lantz

A part of my job at Klättermusen is testing new and old materials. When updating fabrics or trims we want to make sure that we use materials that meet our standards. Here we are lab testing some trims when we investigated an upgrade some time ago.
