Elsa Beskow's 'Pelle's New Suit'

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

I've found the illustrations on Pinterest

Look at my beautiful sheep!

Lars is helping me to sheer my sheep

Grandyma will card the wool

Grandmama will spin the wool

The yarn is dyed blue by Pelle

I feed my baby sister while Mama weaves

Oh! Oh! My new coat!

Thank you, sheep!
