Cextil Latxa Vellon

This soft sculpture is made with felted wool into a nearly cylindrical container. It is made directly from a freshly sheared fleece, which produces a smooth brown interior and on the exterior the hairs of the wool open outwards, as it is possible to see in the sheep themselves. Those hairs are multicoloured – from brown to grey, almost white. It is made with Latxa sheep's wool, which is a coarse wool from the Basque Country, it is used in its natural colour of brown/grey.
