Meeting the wool industry in France, with eleven portraits of French "workers" in the sector and ten models of sweaters to knit designed by Alice Hammer after meeting breeders, shearers, spinning mills, dyers, haberdasheries... An answer to the questions of today's knitters who want to understand where the wool they buy comes from and who are concerned about the environmental and social impact of their occupations.

Drawing on the stories of the stakeholders she met, she candidly reveals the hopes, weaknesses, and difficulties of the sector, explains the challenges facing the French wool industry, and opens up perspectives for the future.
