Mokoša
Bringing Slovak sheep’s wool back.
The wool yarns, wool tops and wool-processing tools offered by Mokoša come from Slovakia. The brand’s mission is to bring Slovak sheep’s wool back to the market and restore its place in our homes and workshops. Its core values are local origin, accessibility and direct relationships between makers, sheep farmers and customers.
Mokoša supports Slovak wool-processing businesses, even though local production often involves many obstacles and compromises. Its long-term aim is also to develop direct partnerships with sheep farmers who can provide high-quality fleece from responsible and humane farming.
The brand promotes the concept of breed-specific wool – sorting wool according to the breed of sheep it comes from. Each breed produces wool with slightly different properties, making it suitable for different kinds of products. This approach helps us understand the material better and provides greater control over the quality of the finished products.
Bringing Slovak wool back also means reviving the continuity of a traditional craft that has relied on a local and renewable natural resource for centuries – sheep’s wool. The name Mokoša refers to an ancient Slavic goddess associated with spinning and traditional women’s crafts, symbolically guiding this Slovak wool story.
