Wool and island life under old beams
In the heart of the island, in the village of Bregninge, Ærø Gårdbutik Uldgården fills former farm outbuildings with a surprisingly large 350 m² shop devoted to wool and natural fibres. The setting still feels distinctly rural: thick walls, timber beams and the sense that these rooms once sheltered animals and hay rather than knitwear and jackets. Today, the atmosphere is warm and tactile, inviting you to slow down and run your hands over soft yarns and finished garments. The shop grew out of a small wool factory in Arnborg, which continues to design and produce many of the items sold here. That connection gives the place a working, craft-forward feel rather than a polished boutique ambience. You are never far from a stack of sweaters or a rack of coats that clearly began life as fleeces, not anonymous fabric bolts.A house of almost everything in wool
The core of Uldgården is its extensive range of wool clothing. Rails carry jumpers, cardigans, T‑shirts, dresses, gloves and hats in different weights, from dense knits made to handle North Sea winds to lighter pieces for shoulder seasons. Many designs are exclusive to the brand, playing with texture, pattern and muted Nordic tones. For anyone who loves natural textiles, this feels like a treasure trove. Beyond pure wool, shelves hold garments in cotton, silk and linen, often blended for comfort and breathability. The emphasis is on clothes that are pleasant to wear for long days outside, whether you are cycling between Ærø’s villages or standing on a windy ferry deck.Outdoor gear for island weather
One section of the farm shop is dedicated to practical outdoor clothing. Here you find jackets, trousers and base layers suitable for hobbies that define island and rural life: fishing, sailing, hunting, golf or simply tending a garden in changeable weather. The pieces favour function over fashion, with tough fabrics, generous pockets and cuts that allow easy movement. This focus makes Uldgården as relevant to locals as to visitors. It is the sort of place where you can pick up a warm, wind-resistant layer before heading out along the cliffs, then keep using it back home in more urban surroundings.From hayloft to browsing loft
Part of the pleasure here is exploring the old farm layout. The former stables and hayloft have been transformed into characterful retail rooms, but the bones of the buildings remain clear. Narrow staircases, low beams and the faint creak of old floorboards give the shop a sense of discovery as you move between sections. Tucked among the clothing you will spot shelves of island specialties and health products: local treats, practical remedies and small-batch items that reflect the broader life of Ærø. There are also works of art and craft, adding colour and a touch of whimsy to the otherwise practical displays.Taking a piece of Ærø home
Because so much of the selection is designed in-house or sourced with care, shopping here feels more like curating memories than ticking off a list. A wool sweater may later recall ferry crossings under low clouds; a pair of gloves might carry the smell of sea air when you unpack them months later. Even if you buy only a small item or a gift, it will be closely tied to this island and its climate. The farm shop rewards unhurried visits. With multiple rooms to explore and many textures to feel, it is easy to spend longer than planned. Whether you arrive as a dedicated knitter, a practical outdoors lover or a curious island wanderer, Uldgården offers both shelter from the wind and a tangible connection to Ærø’s slower, handcrafted rhythm of life.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
