Wovember 2022 – The Importance of Wool: What is Wool?

Wovember Logo

Happy Wovember! It’s that time of year again when we fibre enthusiasts spend the month highlighting the importance of wool. This year I have not had as much time to make and research my usual posts, but as Wovember draws attention to the importance of correctly describing articles made from wool (i.e. not labelling something made from acrylic fibre as ‘woollen’) I thought it would be a brilliant opportunity to share some sources of information on the labelling of wool products and the impact of fast fashion. I am in no way affiliated with any of the companies mentioned and have provided references to all sources used. Do go forth and explore.

Week 2 – What is wool? Updating my first Wovember Post

My first Wovember post Celebrating Wovember: What is Wool? was published back in 2020. In it I explored all the amazing properties wool has and a little of the science behind it. Since then I have discovered some more useful resources and have also gained some more wonderful followers who may not have visited the archives; so for this Wovember I have updated the post with a few added extras – enjoy!

If the link above does not work, the post can be found by clicking on the archives button on the homepage (under the latest blog posts) and selecting November 2020.


Happy Wovember!
