Our system of collecting, grading and testing British wool adds value by providing a high quality, consistent product to customers. A product we should all be proud of.

Promoting British wool is essential if we are to maximise the price of the wool we sell.
Our marketing activities help to create sustainable demand for British wool through a two-pronged approach:

Supporting manufacturers and brands that buy British wool to make their products.
Building consumer demand for British wool rich products.

As a member of British Wool, you play a crucial part in delivering our shared mission.

What happens to your wool?

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.

Here’s a few points to remember when sending your wool to us:

With over 60 breeds of British sheep producing a variety of wool types, each suited to different applications, we can help identify the best wool for your specific needs.

Our team will work with you to understand your brand or business goals, ensuring you get the highest quality wool that aligns with your vision – whether that’s strength and durability for carpets and insulation and softness for apparel and interiors.

Peter Wright, Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet

Adult sheep of breeds which have continuously growing wool should be shorn at least once every year, to help reduce the risk of external parasites and keep the animals comfortable.

The RSPCA

Farmers take their work very seriously. In my experience, living and working around Thirsk, the animals are extremely well looked after, to the highest standards of animal welfare.
