Happy Wovember!
This is my 5th year taking part in Wovember – a month celebrating everything wool. If you’re curious about how Wovember started you can visit the original website here and also the newer Love Wovember website. In previous years I’ve explored what wool is, given book recommendations, investigated the connections between wool and fairytales/mythology and released some Wovember Wind Down videos (I have a new Wovember’s Past page should you want to explore the archive).
This year I’ll be exploring how accurately spinning & weaving are represented in film and literature, sharing academic contemplations and tackling some projects using the Black Welsh Mountain fleece I’ve recently been processing (if all goes to plan, by the end of Wovember I’ll be looking more like the wool witch I’ve been affectionately termed!). There’s no word prompt challenge on Instagram this year, (though I’m sure Wovemberists will still be sharing woolly gems of information throughout the month), but I thought it would be fun to share some woolly knowledge in the comments section too; so do feel free to share any fun and interesting wool facts, references/bloggers/woolly people you recommend, or questions you have about wool on any posts throughout the month!
I look forward to joining you over the coming weeks – and if you or anyone you know is also running with Wovember in their own way do let me know!
