skeins of wool
Skeins of wool, Madelinetosh, merino lace duchess
‘The skeins of wool are a friendly refuge, like a web or a cocoon. The catterpillar gets the silk from his mouth, builds his cocoon and when its completed he dies.
The cocoon has exhausted the animal. I am the cocoon. I have no ego. I am my work.’
