The fleece line gathers itself
Weather, fleece, carding, yarn and seal are already held in chapter order for the first origin release.
A directed film study. Not documentary footage.
Island
Weather comes in before the cloth.
Atlantic grass, salt air and wet light open the line long before the hand touches wool.
Fleece
The body of the sheep becomes a first silhouette.
A held outline, a weather-cut volume, and the memory of lanolin before separation.
Shearing
The gesture is exact, not dramatic.
The release begins with a controlled cut and a discipline of removal rather than spectacle.
Carding
The fibre opens into a softer weather.
Washing and carding loosen the mass into a quieter field where air and touch begin to align.
Yarn
Twist gathers the line into drawing.
The fibre pulls inward and starts to hold direction as a measured thread: luminous, taut and ready for notation.
Pattern
The stitch map appears.
Grid, count, interval and repeat give the garment its structure before the panels ever meet.
Assembly / Passport
The garment closes as a numbered ledger.
Panels are joined, weight is balanced, the finished body is sealed, and the provenance line moves with the garment.
