Portuguese Wool - the locks

Imagens: Guida Fonseca; / Photos: Guida Fonseca;

In the meantime, the processing and analysis of the portuguese wools keep going, down in Viana do Alentejo, in Guida's and Isabel's hands.

I'll be sharing with you some of the images that they are sending me of this work in progress. Here, you can see images of sample locks from each breed, still unclean.
We're actually quite amazed by the variety of wool our small country has to offer.

For some breeds we're showing you the locks only in the white color, since that's usually the most common, except for the Black Merino breed that is set apart precisely for being exclusively of dark wool sheep, but we intend to show all the color variations by the end of this work.
