learn about Wool, wool Spinning and dyEing with plants
”Sorting wool, washing it, carding it and finally spinning it by hand is a wonderful process. That process is important and I want to share my knowledge about it with others. After all, the process creates a connection with nature, the material and the sheep.
Working with a material that in this society is seen as a waste product and sharing knowledge about it, creates an awareness about the material but also about what we can all learn from nature.”
