Later there was a problem with the killing of the lambs. No one wanted to do it. So, finally, after due consideration breeding for meat was changed to breeding another type of sheep for wool production. A few people from applied arts...
figured out how to turn a sheep's coat into fine soft beautifully colored wool. And before long a design shop in the middle of the block was going and doing well. You can order your own style and size woolens there. Kita, who owns and runs the shop is pleased. "Orders are plentiful", she says, "but sometimes there is a back-up in wool production. The people from spinning are still improving work processes, using new technology... Here in the shop I have a few new people working on the knitting maschines as well, and they are still learning. But, hey, here we are, working with our hand, meeting people from the neighborhood, breathing fresh air..." And turning to another subject she added, "Oh, by the way, they are opening a new play tomorrow night, over in the theatre at Lanestreet. You must come and show off your new dress."
