Here are two Himachali women I met when

I was walking in the Himalayan Mountains

in Himachal Pradesh in the NORTH.

Do you know what these women are doing?

I have painted them with sheep because they are using SHEEP’S WOOL for what they are

making. One woman SPINS the wool to make it into an even thread. The

other is KNITTING a multi-coloured, woolly jumper. Wool can be dyed all the colours of the

rainbow. But I rather like the woman who is wearing a natural coloured outfit-it’s the same

colour as the brown sheep.
