traditionals

A pair of 'good old' traditional woodwoolstools.

Custom made and in the meantime already packed and sent to the new owner, an artist who bought the stools for new gallery in a monumental building.
I've made the stool covers at her request in the traditional way. It's how I once started making stools, more than ten years ago and which explains the origin of the name woodwoolstool.

The woolen covers are completely made with yarn from Marrakech. The wooden stool legs are made of reclaimed wood, that's running out...

Nowadays I do many other things, and hardly make any stools, yet the name woodwoolstool feels so natural to me. I suppose it has become my middle name.

Some people even call me woodwoolstool when they recognize me, but don't know my name... and I do respond immediately.

Unpacking the huge wool bags from our stock and making a new workshop display is always a fun way to get started...

On the first workshop day, we make an introducing tour in the Medina, to show our guests the way. During this walk we always visit 'wool heaven' to expand the wool stock to everyone's wishes.

woodwoolstool

New in the shop: a brandnew piece.

It has been a while since I've made a woodwoolstool.
This weekend I finally got started with wood and made a new stool.
For the stool legs I used different types of scrap wood, both sides have a different look.
On one side is pastel pink and on the other side is made of wood with vintage wallpaper.
It's all in the details...
The white crochet cover I've made some months ago with moroccan yarn.

So you can find another WOODWOOLSTOOL in the shop, ultimately, it was about time.

Two weeks from now, we will start with the 6th edition of the Cool Crochet Workshop in Marrakech. Around this time we officially start with a welcome dinner on the rooftop terrace of riad Chambres d'Amis.

At the moment I'm working on new projects to make during our travels in and around Marrakech.

Twelve women from around the world will join the October workshop. Among them, there are four 'crocheteers' that already joined the workshop before, which I consider as a compliment!

Last April we did a stool-cover project for a small moroccan stool (think suitcase size) and everyone was so excited when we showed all the tiny little stools.

So big chance, we will repeat this project!

the prototype

The very first wood & wool stool dressed up in a new summer outfit.

This stool I made years ago and it is not for sale, it's the prototype of the wood & wool stool, made with a piece of driftwood I once found on the beach in Greece.

The bright blue is my favorite blue, actually it's the same as our bedhead, made from two beach cabin doors.

Love to re-use old pieces of wood!

pastel colored

There's only one more handmade stool of the summer collection available in the S H O P.

The stool legs are made of white scrapwood and a crochet pastel colored top.

gold ochre

This handmade stool has s u m m e r written all over it.

Now in the S H O P.

One of a kind!

ripe raspberry

A raspberry pink summer stool, new in the S H O P on the first day of summer!

The 'summer dress' with colored speckles in the pink yarn has a rim with four different sides. It's a white slip stitch finish, alternating with turquoise, bright pink, black & white, gray and rust. The stool legs are made of white scrap wood.

wood & wool stool - pale khaki

Brand new stool in the s h o p.

The stool cover I've made with 100% wool, hand-dyed in South Africa.
It's a beautiful pastel colour, pale khaki by [i love yarn ♥], Cornel brought for me from South Africa last October.

I've made the same cover as I have made recently for Emily Chalmers.
