Along the way, she explores wool's rich culture by knitting and crafting culturally significant garments from our history - among them gloves, a scarf, a baby blanket, socks and a fisherman's jumper - reminding us of the value of craft and our intimate relationship with wool.</p><p><i>This Golden Fleece</i> is at once a meditation on the craft and history of knitting, and a fascinating exploration of wool's influence on our landscape, history and culture.</p>
