HOW to get closer and interact with the animals who grow one of the most wonderful natural material called WOOL on their bodies AND HOW to be as EMPATHIC to them as they are to us?
Do I know where the wool of my jumper is from? Where lives the SHEEP who worn it before me? Who or what sheared the wool?
If you haven't hang with the sheep for a while you can spend a visual moment with my friends of this page.
Pictures taken from different places in Finland 2018-2019.
