A story of the processing, supply chain, and lifecycle of wool to build consumer awareness of the implications of their choices. Even behind a material so humble and "old tech", are layers of entanglements between humans, land, and broader economic and cultural systems.
Research involved site visits (Harris Tweed, Scotland) and interviews with local experts in lambing, yarn production, and textile repair.
