Making yarn at Istex in Iceland

During my tapestry weaving and spinning artist residency in Blonduos, Iceland, I was able to visit the scouring plant run by Istex. Almost all of the Icelandic sheep clip goes here first to be scoured before being sent on to be spun elsewhere. We had a great tour of this facility from Gudmann and this video gives you a peek inside. There is an accompanying blog post with more information at https://www.rebeccamezoff.com/blog/20...
