" The Ost Cafe" Felt Yurt in Cafe garden
Don and I had a wonderful time visiting the Bredsjo Dairy in Bredsjo Sweden. They are located in the "deep woods" near Hallefors, about 93 kilometers north of Karlstad. We spent two full days felting the wool from the dairy sheep using the 40 inch rolling machine. The wool felted well and we made hats, scarves, bags, and "vegan sheep skins". Lena, her husband Lars and daughter Sarah are hard workers and they produce the most delicious cheese I have ever tasted - especially the roquefort. The "Ost Cafe" (Cheese cafe is open on weekends in the summer). Gunvor is working with them to produce products from the wool and she has made yurts - completely designed from the wool to the frame.
