Illustrated by
Ashley Wolff.
Wolff's illustrations, which resemble woodcuts rendered in warm gold, blue, and earth shades, capture the flavor and tone of this cumulative rhyme that describes the wool-making process. From the spring sheep-shearing to carding, spinning, dyeing, and weaving a warm blanket for baby, the verse and the pictures convey a bygone era. An author's note about wool making is included.
