This summer in a village in Wales, a small flock of sheep was shawn. Each garment in the collection was produced from the wool of just one of these sheep, continuing until the wool was finished.. A project undertaken by contemporary Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma. The garments were exhibited November 2005 at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum (via reluct) On the flocks website there are some lovely images from old books on ‘how to knit’, ‘how to sheer a sheep’, ‘how to spin wool’ etc.

    This is KILLING me – the Dyckman Farmhouse is down the street from me and there was no publicity about this exhibit whatsoever! Darn it! I had no idea they even did such shows – ‘m going to have to have a word with someone down there…..
