At British Wool, our purpose is to drive sustainable demand for British wool in order to maximise returns for our members.
This means we’re working hard to increase consumer demand for British wool, as well as working with brands to encourage them to use British wool in their products.
This activity is ultimately designed to deliver a better return for our members.
It is crucial that we maximise our wool intake, this allows us to have a lower operating cost base which benefits all of our members. To book in your wool, please contact your local Depot or Drop Off point. Access our depot network here.
Wool from our members is graded at one of our depots. Individual clips are amalgamated to create commercial graded lots for sale by auction, which ensures a regular supply of large weights of wool of uniform type and quality for the international textile industry.
TIPS WHEN SENDING YOUR WOOL TO US
Pack
Pack your wool sheet full – this will mean that your transport costs less.
Transport
Consider working with your neighbours to combine transport – again, this will mean that your transport costs less. And check our Depot Network to find your nearest Drop Off point.
Reduce Vulnerability
Send your wool into us as soon as it is shorn – storing it means you risk exposing it to damp conditions or damage, which will decrease its value.
