Join the flock and go and see World Wide Wool
This exhibition is all about comfort and beauty. It is fibre grown, not man made, with an origin and integrity that has yet to be matched. Natural, renewable and sustainable it offers the most timeless and enduring quality to materials for many different lifestyle products for interiors, fashion, built and craft
This unique transformation has been made possible by the supremely talented and creative Wool House designers and an array of highly skilled and dedicated people that work in our global textile industry. It is the matching of both sides that create style and substance
Time is so precious but really good things take time. And so you will understand that wool is not a fast fibre; the journey it makes is peopled by those that are dedicated and that have spent many years perfecting their craft. These skills are in every wool garment, cloth, rug….and they are vital to the future of wool
Wool is a fibre for the life we lead, the people we love, the planet we inhabit
This exhibition was for The Campaign for Wool, launched in 2010 by Patron HRH The Prince of Wales , to unite the international textile industry to promote real wool as the superior natural and sustainable fibre for fashion, interiors and the built environment. The Campaign is unique in how it has united farmers, industry users, leading brands, retailers of wool and wool lovers across the world
