Dolly's Sweater

dollysweater31.jpg, 59325 bytesDolly's Sweater
Sweater knit from Dolly the cloned sheep
Do you remember the great controversy a few years ago, when Dolly, a cloned sheep was engineered? A bioengineered embryo had been implanted into a 6 year old ewe's womb and Dolly developed as a clone. At 3 years of age, Dolly had much older DNA and it was expected that her life expectancy would be much shorter.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust held a competition to design a sweater using Dolly's fleece. The fleece was cleaned, processed and spun at the School of Textile Industries in Leeds.
