GET TO KNOW THE BRITISH BREEDS

Who are we? GET TO KNOW US

The Woolist grew from a need to find out more about native British wool fibres, and understand more about the desirable qualities they possess and how we can promote local fibres and local making. 

A four year research project followed, with the aim of documenting and re-designing the way knitwear designers and textile designers could find out about the different qualities that each breed of the 72 purebred British sheep possess, to fulfil their needs to design aesthetically pleasing yet functional garments, accessories and products.

We want to engage with all wool users, from craft through to high-end manufacture, to promote British wool and help connect wool users with the information they need to utilise this renewable sustainable fibre.
