Wool workshop in Sarlabous in October 2026 | Hautes-Pyrénées
Discover a workshop focusing on wool in Sarlabous
The 6 October 2026, the Moulin des Baronnies in Sarlabous offers a craft workshop dedicated to creating a felted soap made from Pyrenean wool. This unique activity offers a different way to discover a material that is emblematic of the region, whilst learning a traditional craft in a friendly atmosphere.
Open to both the curious and those who enjoy craft activities, this workshop offers the chance to work with wool, learn about some of the stages involved in its processing, and take home a creation made on the spot. It’s a simple and enjoyable way to learn more about local resources and the craftsmanship associated with them.
An ideal craft activity for autumn
Take part in a Wool workshop in Sarlabous in October 2026 is a lovely way to mix up your activities whilst on holiday in the Hautes-Pyrénées. At this time of year, the cooler days are particularly well suited to indoor activities, whilst still allowing you to enjoy the surrounding scenery and walks.
This experience offers a chance to take a break between two outings in the great outdoors and to discover a more artisanal side to the region. Woolworking is an integral part of the Pyrenees’ identity, where sheep farming and traditional skills have long played an important role.
Make your own felted soap using Pyrenean wool
During the workshop, participants learn about the principle of the felted soap, which involves wrapping wool fibres around a bar of soap and then working them so that they tighten around it. This technique creates an object that is practical, decorative and original all at once.
Beyond the craft itself, the activity encourages participants to take the time to create something with their own hands and to gain a better understanding of the possibilities offered by a natural material such as wool. Everyone can then take home a personalised memento of their visit to Sarlabous.
Le Moulin des Baronnies, a venue dedicated to local craftsmanship

This activity can easily be fitted into a day spent exploring the Hautes-Pyrénées. It is particularly suitable for visitors who wish to alternate between hiking, heritage visits and more creative experiences during their holidays.

We spent a magical night at Les Cabanes du Lizon, in La Grange, and everything was perfect! We were completely charmed by the cosy atmosphere, the meticulous decor and the attention to detail. We loved the fact that everything was locally sourced, which gave the place even more authenticity. Special mention must go to the Nordic bath, a real moment of relaxation under the stars, and the view of horses and the Pyrenees the next morning! And what can I say about Denis, a top host, welcoming and passionate. Thank you for this timeless interlude, we'll be back and will be delighted to recommend it! 🥰
