International Back to Back Wool Challenge.
Promoting Wool World Wide & Fund Raising for Cancer Research
An annual event that challenges teams of wool crafters around the globe to create a jumper directly from a sheep's back to a human's back.
Each team consists of a blade shearer, a country-of-origin sheep and seven hand spinners (with spinning wheels) and knitters who follow the identical challenge rules and pattern to knit the adult size jumper.
