The Blacksheep Scarves, from Soil to Loom:
A short film tracing the making of the Black Sheep Farm Felted Blanket Scarves — from soil to loom within a two-hour range in rural Ontario.
Starting with naturally grey and black sheep’s wool sourced from Black Sheep Farm in Chesley, the fibre is washed, carded, spun, woven, felted, and hand-finished — all under one roof, just a two-hour drive from the farm, at Wave Fibre Mill.
Working with Black Sheep Farm’s full 2025 clip invited the unique challenge of using the entire range of natural wool colours. The broad check pattern in two colour-ways was chosen to highlight these variations — integrating the farm’s light and dark wools in whatever proportions the year’s clip provided.
