Du kan dra til Scotland, Island, Farøyene og Ytre Hebridene og overalt så er det mye fokus på ull og sau, og hvor viktig sauen har vært for mennesker her i nord. Men det gjør vi veldig lite her i Norge. Når jeg får tid, vil jeg får gjort det. The collaborate with the local farmers that bring wool for them, wool shearers, the husflidlaget, knitting festivals,the slaugtherhouse, and other artisans of the area. They are members of creative associations such as the Norske Kunsthandverkerer and Norske Billedkunstnerer as well as farmer associations such as Småbrukerlaget, Bondelaget and education groups such as Utdanningsforbundet. With Norske Kunsthandverkerer they actively collaborate in artistic exchanges and exhibition projects. They also collaborate with academia in a project in Tingvall with the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomic Research called "Amazing Grazing". It researchs sheep farming as a sustainable industry for Norway, analysing the impacts in the landscape, climate and economy of the processes involved in farming, and the long-lasting life of derivates such as wool textile. One of the challenges is to get the wool and prepare it for selling. There are no local wool preparation plants, so she has to send the locally sourced raw material and send it to a cleaning plant. After that, the wool is send to the workshop and crafted into yarn and the other products. The combination of the farm managing and modern life is also challenging, specially in the areas where people have their holyday houses (hytte), and carry on with modern lifestyles, while the sheep need the space to graze unfenced. There are also economic challenges since the sheep farming does not generate a lot of money. Det er jo veldig få som klarer å lage penge på å jobbe med sau i Norge nå. Så det er en stor spørsmål: hva gjør vi mellon brukerer videre? hvordan... hvor får vi maten fra? hvor får vi klærne våres fra? Hva er viktigst? Skal vi bygge ut og bygge ned oss natur eller skal vi letter etter forbinde her og levelige kår? https://lofoten-wool.no/en https://www.nibio.no/prosjekter/amazing-grazing-baerekraftig-kjott-og-ull-fra-sau-som-beiter-i-norsk-utmark?locationfilter=true https://www.smabrukarlaget.no/aktuelt/bonde-og-smaabruker/, https://www.norskekunsthandverkere.no/kunstnerregister/ragnhild-lie https://husflid.no/ https://www.utdanningsforbundet.no/ https://www.bondelaget.no/ Esther Haukeland, Innføring til plantefarging.

According to Ragnhild, Lofoten is an Eldorado for wool and lamb/sheep meat that wasn't developed. Most of the wool produced in Lofoten was and still is exported to England to never come back to Norway. Ragnhild realised she should have taken action to reverse this trend and to give new prominence to the wool produced by Lofoten sheep at a more local level. full-time paid job Sheep care and farming, plant dying with natural materials, wool processing, textile construction on the loom, knitting, design of knitting patterns, needle binding.
