Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
A sheepskin collar and coat
A flock of sheep
Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
Wool spinning
Spinning
It looks a mess whatever it is.
The raw material
Concentration on the job
There is someone inside that!
Yarns dyed ready for weaving
Competing for the woolliest coat.
Teasing thread
A wintry scene
The sheep look neater!
Gathering something, but what?
Shaping the hat
The face of a man who knows how to keep warm.
A happy weaver
Wool awaiting spinning
Hand spinning
Close up of the spinning process
Yarns ready for weaving
wool spinning
Weaving tools in use
