The brilliant installation has been specially commissioned to showcase the latest wool fabrics and carpets from some of the most important names in the industry.

The Campaign for Wool is a global endeavour initiated by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2010, in order to promote better understanding and use of natural and sustainable benefits of real wool to raise awareness amongst consumers about the unique, natural, renewable and biodegradable benefits offered by the fibre. It has united the international community of wool growers, manufacturers, retailers and wool lovers.
