What happens when a sheep’s personality is transformed into yarn and knitted textiles?

The Sheep’s Personality

This project explores how a sheep’s personality can live on in hand-spun yarn and textile surfaces. Drawing on local wool, hand spinning, and knitting, stories of sheep, landscape, and craft are translated into textile expressions. Through this work, I investigate how a closer relationship with the material’s origin can foster greater respect for the animal, nature, and the resources we depend on.
