Documentation of our expeditions into the world of sheep and wool. A fascinating world, full of stories, rich in culture, and dotted with fabulous facts.
We are Becky and Jaer, two certified sheep enthusiasts. On this blog, we are documenting our journey into the world of sheep, wool, textile, and fibers. From our reflections on working with different types of wool, to investigations into the history of different breeds and their impact on the social-economic landscape of geographical areas.
Yes, we are ambitious. We just want to know everything related to sheep. Hence we’ve embarked on this adventurous journey: The Great Sheep Expedition.

“I’ve always been interested in this and this and this.”

“I grew up with sheep, but they were never my favourite animal. I remember some fairly aggressive Texel sheep at my parents barn attacking me. But everything changed once I read ‘A short history of the world according to sheep’. What a title for a book, and what a cool way of looking at the world.”
