Interview with Edoardo Brunello, who explains the spirit and objectives of the initiative aimed at highlighting the value of native Alpine wool and developing new supply chains.

Promoting native Alpine wool and building new sustainable supply chains around this resource: this is the key objective of the European Interreg Alpine Space Woolshed project, which brought together universities, local authorities, research centers, breeders, and businesses. Tollegno 1900 is also involved. “We approached Tollegno 1900 because, for this project, we were looking for a partner who not only understood the characteristics of native wools but also could help us pair these rustic materials with innovative, soft, and visually striking yarns,” explains Edoardo Brunello, a designer and research fellow at the Iuav University of Venice, and a professor at the Fashion Design Laboratory 2 in the second year of the Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design and Multimedia Arts.

Discovering the secrets and curiosities of the world of wool
The journey of the brand that has chosen Harmony as Icon goes on
From 28 to 30 June an unmissable appointment for innovation, creativity and visionary at Pitti Filati which also sees Tollegno 1900 yarns as protagonists
The designer, who is working on her thesis at the European Institute of Design, at the end of her studies would like to work for a brand with a strong stylistic vocation for the world of knitwear.
The creative project that makes textile its center and the iconic yarn of Tollegno 1900 one of its interpreters, was created by ARDA-KCWC and exhibited for the first time during Salone del mobile in Milan.
Thanks to the votes collected on the feeltheyarn.it page dedicated to the competition, there are 10 designers who will now reach the final which will decide the overall winner, elected during Pitti Immagine Filati in June. Whoever wins will have the opportunity to design a capsule collection for F/W 24/25. There are also many opportunities for visibility offered to the other competitors of the initiative conceived by Feel the Yarn® which, for 2023, has chosen the theme of "people" as its inspiration.
