When I explore a fleece I try to document my work in a way that suits me. For the past few years I have made wool boards. Or that’s what I call them. They remind me of mood boards, only with wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure there are other names for ways to display wool, samples and swatches as a form of fleece note taking. Wool board is just a name I have chosen for my purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow fashion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first wool board I made was for one of my earliest videos, Slow fashion 2 \u2013 from sheep to shawl<\/a>. Or, it was more a book than a board. The book worked as a sample and swatch documentation, script, weaving plan and table of contents for the video. In the book I kept staples, yarn samples and several swatches where I experimented my way to the techniques that gave me the structure and drape that I wanted in the shawl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
