NURTURING CREATIVITY, HERITAGE, AND SUSTAINABILITY.
Our mission is to foster creativity, preserve cultural traditions, educate, support wool growers and promote sustainability through engaging and hands-on learning experiences centred around wool.
Wool is a natural and sustainable resource, we believe now is a decisive time to explore and elaborate on the benefits of wool. Wool in School aims to lead the discussion as to why wool has its place in the conversation of climate change.

"As Leaders in Wool Education we believe long-view leadership in the wool industry is deeply connected to education at all levels. Involving young learners in understanding wool production, sustainability, and ethical sourcing is not just a matter of industry outreach—it's an essential investment in shaping a generation that will continue to drive responsible practices."

Our Passion
At Wool in School, we believe that education should be as enriching and diverse as the fibres we work with. Our programmes are designed to bring the fascinating journey of wool into the classroom, offering students a unique opportunity to explore this natural and versatile material.
We introduce children, teachers, and families to the amazing qualities of wool and fibres, showcasing their sustainability and how they deserve a place in our future in the midst of our ongoing battle with climate change and environmental renewal.
