From Sheep Fleece to Woven Coat - "MY BROWN COAT"

Romney fleece from a Little Hooves Farm in Moorestown, NJ. I scoured, drum carded, dyed and spun the wool into yarn. Then, I wove the yarn into fabric, and sewed it into this coat. The long locks are Gotland that were dyed and spun to intentionally hang as fringe, then woven into the cloth. I wore this coat in the MAFA 2023 Fashion Show!
