Spotted on the BBC 👀
It’s great to see British wool back in the spotlight, with the BBC exploring the growing demand for wool and the increasingly innovative ways it’s being used – from clothing to insulation and even slug pellets.
And we couldn’t help but spot a familiar name in the shearing shed too…

A brilliant feature for British wool, British farming and the shearing industry.
