Amidst the gently rolling landscapes and half-timbered cottages of Ærø, Ærø Gårdbutik Uldgården embodies the deep-rooted island traditions of craftsmanship, self-sufficiency, and sustainability. Housed in a rustic farmstead just outside Ærøskøbing, this family-run boutique offers a sensory immersion into the world of wool.
