Abstract

The article "Sheep, shepherd & land: Stories of sheep farmers reinvigorating Canadian wool" explores the Canadian wool textile systems through the experiences documented by Anna Hunter and Christel Lanthier visiting various farms across the country. It discusses the decline in diverse breed-specific wool fibers in clothing systems due to the increased demand for meat and the popularity of Merino wool sourced from other countries. The book emphasizes the importance of reviving local wool fiber systems, connecting textiles to agriculture, and promoting sustainable practices to combat the climate crisis.
