#SeptTextileLove Day 16: Sustainable⠀
⠀ I’m a big fan of British wool. The UK has over sixty sheep breeds - more than any other country in the world. They often graze on land unsuitable for other farming, and in conservation grazing in particular are used to help keep shrub and grassland under control.⠀ ⠀ The pictures are of a Herdwick sheep, one of my favourite breeds, and part of a rug I wove entirely from Herdwick wool.⠀ ⠀ #septtextilelove #septtextilelove2019 #sustainable #british #wool #britishwool #herdwick
