Woolgathering: Revitalizing the Wool Industry in Nova Scotia through Sustainability
Ruth Mathewson, Owner of Harmeny Woolen Mill and LocalFibreLove member, along with NSCAD Assistant Professor Jennifer Green, will explore how to support a viable, sustainable and transparent wool industry.
For a variety of reasons, creating wool is typically an afterthought with sheep producers in Nova Scotia who tend to focus more on meat and dairy products. Local Fibre Love is committed to addressing this. Through this collaboration between NSCAD, Local Fibre Love and a small but engaged group of rural Nova Scotia farmers, the project team plans to put the spotlight on the beauty and usefulness of Nova Scotian wool as well as the farmers’ commitment to carrying out farming practices in humane and sustainable ways.
