“Nine Sheep in Rope” 

Local collaboration with Lystbækgaaard in Ulfborg the project investigates the historic context and properties (aesthetic and functional) of the wool. The process leads from participating in the shearing/sorting process to local wool spinners who handspun yarn, which were then made into ropes with rope maker Carsten Hvid at Roskilde Viking ship museum. To revitalize an old tradition of making tactile soft rope from sheep wool.
