Since 1950

For 75 years, British Wool has stood at the heart of the UK’s wool industry – supporting our nation’s sheep farmers, promoting the value of wool, and championing sustainability long before it became a buzzword. Since 1950, we’ve worked to ensure fair returns for farmers, uphold the heritage of British sheep farming, and drive demand for this remarkable natural fibre.

This milestone isn’t just about the past – it’s a celebration of progress, resilience, and innovation. From traditional textiles to cutting-edge uses, British wool continues to evolve, adapt and inspire. Join us as we look back at the highlights, honour the people behind the fleece, and look ahead to the future of British Wool.
