From the shearing of the goats and sheep to the final product, this is the story of wool. My daughter and I went to our first shearing event several years ago and it was beyond interesting. The way the animals sort of zone out while they’re being sheard to the softness and warmth of the lanolin drenched wool fresh off the sheep and goats. The last picture is of sweater my daughter made.
The shearing…
Roving to yarn to dyed yarn to sweater…
I like the way these two drawings of hands knitting are actually connected by a knitted piece.

Let’s see, it’s in here somewhere !
I tend to like blues and greens the best.
I just like this picture because it has the blue of the sky and the water and just a pop of green.

This week, focus on the tactile element of the objects you shoot, whether it’s one distinct quality — softness, smoothness, graininess, or any other texture you find interesting — or a combination of several within one frame.

My daughter’s straw hat with roving in it which she then spun and turned into beautiful yarn.
From freshly shorn from the sheep, to roving, to spinning, to yarn.
