I hope you have enjoyed the bit of information I was able to find and share with you in today’s post about Cowichan sweaters.
My daughter’s husband and my grandchildren represent Washington State native culture, so as being “grammy” I will need to ensure they learn about the traditions of wool, spinning, knitting, and weaving with the history of Cowichan sweaters that I can find.
Wool is life, life with wool.
Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
