I just finished reading Stephany Wilkes’ “Raw Material — Working Wool in the West”. I highly recommend it if you have any interest in fibre, agriculture, or our modern world’s unsustainable value system. It’s well-written — providing cogent details on everything from sheep-shearing to the US investment system, through the evolution of one woman’s own journey.
