Matt Bragg talks with Caller Rima about her spinning wheels, a headstrong ewe named Snowflake, and the slow, satisfying craft of turning fleece into yarn.
What You'll Hear:
An Oasis Documentary Confession: Matt admits to some post-cinema self-consciousness after realizing he and half the crowd dressed exactly alike.
Meet Snowflake, the Ewe in Charge: Rima explains how her flock actually runs on ewe power, led by a surprisingly bossy matriarch named Snowflake who liked to break out of the stall and lead the whole gang along with her.
From Fleece to Sweater: Rima walks Matt through the whole process, from shearing to spinning and plying, and shares her excitement of finally finishing her very first hand-knit sweater.
