Badana is the name of the most critically endangered of Portugal’s native sheep breeds, Churra Badana. Its wool was once used locally for weaving blankets and other textiles but presently there is almost no demand for it and it becomes a source of expense and trouble for the farmers. This pattern was born out of my love for this beautiful breed and respect for the shepherds who keep it alive.
