We’re nearing the end of Wool Week! Each year, the Campaign for Wool celebrates everything wool for one week. After all, wool is a marvellous fabric that may actually need an entire month to itself if we’re to go by the wealth of wool to be found on Blue Patch made by businesses scattered far and wide over the British Isles.
