What is the Campaign for Wool?
The Campaign for Wool is a global endeavour initiated by its patron, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, in 
order to raise awareness amongst consumers about the unique, natural, renewable and biodegradable benefits offered by the fibre. Encouraging collaboration between an international community of woolgrowers, major fashion designers, retailers, manufacturers, artisans and interior designers, the Campaign has been instrumental in educating consumers about the versatility of wool, and reconnecting them with its myriad uses; From luxurious fine merino knitwear and cloth through beautiful hardwearing interior products to fire-retardant insulation for the home. Since its launch in 2010, The Campaign for Wool has influenced a new demand for wool on an international scale, and its efforts have seen an outstanding threefold increase in the price farmers receive for their wool.
