The wool yarn for this garment is spun by hand on a spinning wheel or with a hand-spindle. (as did our foremothers) It was dyed with local plants  which I grow, collect from cuttings and agricultural wastes, or gather with great care and mindfullness in nature.  Each plant has it's own secrets as how to give it's color, and it takes time and patience to listen to those secrets wispered in my ears. Knitting is done by hand with big wooden needels.  all of this  is a very time-consuming process, but veryJoyous as well.
I love spinning, I love to get colors from plants, and I love combining them into beautifull garments and see how the colors match. I wish you will enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoyed making it, knowing that in doing so we revive together an old knowledge that is disappearing nowadays.
