Handspun wool

EN

Spinning is, arguably, the most repetitive yet most rewarding task of the process of turning wool into cloth. I believe that the thread produced by hand is a faithful representation of each intention, emotion and perception at the time in which it was spun. A fragment of that present.

From the early stages of prepping and mixing the fibers and colours with the hand carders, to then spinning and plying the yarn, either on the spinning wheel or drop spindle, this highly meditative process helps me think freely about my work and idealize the next projects.
