Duration
6h

With textile archaeologist Ronja Lau, we will ask ourselves: How is wool actually made? And how is it dyed? We will spin yarn from raw wool with hand spindles and hear exciting stories about the creation and history of textiles in Berlin and around the world.

This will be the fourth time that Andreas Möller, the builder of the Thread Cartographer, will take the carpet, which has grown to over ten metres, off the loom. Numerous visitors have woven their connections with Berlin and the world into this carpet. We look forward to seeing you!
