I got tired of waiting for Weather Wool production backlog and though that there has to be some company that uses felted wool in a similar fashion.
It would never crossed my mind that this research will take me back home.The story here is interesting as well:
https://micklagaard.com/blogs/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-wadmal-outdoor-clothingWadmal (or vadmal) is a felted wool fabric with awesome properties for outdoors- and hunting garments.
The Vikings used it to make clothes for surviving the grim Nordic winters. People on the northern hemisphere have been using Wadmal clothes ever since they domesticated sheep.Micklagaards wadmal is military grade (kind of ...).
About 30 years ago the Swedish military announced that they were discontinuing the use of wadmal in their uniforms.
The military auctioned out the remaining fabric, and Micklagaard bought the entire lot. They have a barn with stacks and stacks of vacuum packed wadmal, waiting to be made into clothes.
