A wonderful week to celebrate wool…

Obviously we’re huge wool fans at Woolly HQ, so we welcome the 6th annual Wool Week. Wool Week was initially started by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2010 to promote the many uses of wool and unite all the wool lovers, from the farmers, manufacturers and retailers around the world.

There are lots of wool related things going on around the UK this week, so if you fancy getting involved you can visit one of the events or follow everything #WoolWeek across Twitter and Instagram.

Saville Row is being completely transformed into a green pasture for Sheep on the Row, with sheep grazing and wool lovers encouraged to visit and check out the local bespoke tailors showcasing the versatility of wool.

Or if you fancy a project – why not knit a woolly hat for yourself.
