Episode 79: British Sheep Conservation and Ancestral Weaving with Margaret Russell

This week on the podcast , Sarah is talking to Margaret Russell, a weaver of almost 40 years. Margaret has a long ancestral history of weaving in her family, and is weaving in the same small coastal town in Northeastern Massachusetts as her great x 9 grandfather worked as a linen weaver in 1635. Margaret is hard at work on her Preservation Wraps project, which is a series of weavings that supports the conservation of watchlisted breeds of British Sheep.

I really enjoyed this podcast with Margaret Russell. What she’s doing to preserve the wool of these sheep is really inspiring and her work is gorgeous!
