The route starts at the Textile Museum, which is housed in former factory buildings. This is where large quantities of wool from moorland sheep was combed and transformed into underwear, socks, and other common goods for ordinary Danes. The route ends in a special residential area in Ikast, where a group of young artists let their creativity run wild.
