The wool was donated by the Wiese Business Trust of Loxton in the Northern Cape. The wool on the sheep was 6 years old when it was shed off late 2011. There should have been prints for 2 welfare organizations.

All the whitest pieces have been removed, spun, washed and pretty naturally bleached. The blanket was then attached to Christina Kiddies Center in Kimberley and then sold at an auction for R20 000, also wearing a blanket for the Eljada aftercare center in Oudtshoorn is also wool.
