Bookroo's summary
Pelle's Sunday suit is shrinking, but his lamb's wool is growing longer. With a pair of shears in hand, Pelle embarks on a journey to transform the wool into a new suit. From carding to spinning, dyeing to weaving, each step brings him closer to his goal. Will Pelle's efforts pay off, and can he learn the traditional craft of wool-making in time to replace his beloved suit? Discover the fascinating process of turning wool into clothing in this charming tale.
From the publisher
Pelle has a lamb whose coat grows longer and longer, while Pelle’s Sunday suit grows shorter! Pelle shears the lamb, and the wool is carded, spun, dyed and woven. Finally, the tailor makes a new suit for Pelle.
This is a wonderful book to help children understand where their clothes come from and the traditional craft of working with wool.
