British Wool Like our page to learn more about British wool Our job at British Wool is to collect, grade and sell the wool on behalf of sheep farmers.

The UK has more sheep breeds than any country in the world – over sixty different breeds cared for by more than thirty five thousand farmers across Scotland, England and Wales. The diversity of breed and fleece type means British wool can be used in a broad range of applications from flooring to apparel. Sheep farming also has benefits for our landscapes, helping to keep rural shrub and grassland

under control. So the next time you are purchasing a carpet, mattress or jacket insist on British wool and help support British farmers. Visit our website to find your nearest retailer of British Wool products.

After a welcome spell of rain, the heather is bursting into colour across the moors.

Captured in the heart of the Forest of Bowland, this Swaledale ewe amongst the purple hues, a beautiful reminder of late summer in the uplands.

🐑🌿 From hillside to wardrobe, wool connects us all.

When Patrick Grant caught up with Cammy Wilson The Sheep Game, the conversation quickly turned to wool, and for good reason.

Cammy had just received his latest wool cheque and was pleasantly surprised by the return. For Patrick, it's a sign that more people are recognising the value of wool: a natural, renewable fibre that feels great to wear and is better for the environment.

As Patrick explained, consumers are increasingly looking for quality products with a genuine story behind them. They want to know where things come from, who produced them and how their choices support farming communities and rural livelihoods.

Every fleece starts with farmers like Cammy, and it's encouraging to see greater appreciation for the people, skills and natural fibres that make it all possible.

The summer holidays may be nearly over, but some of our sheep are still enjoying the best views! ☀️

This lamb was spotted overlooking the stunning North Devon coastline, where rolling green fields meet the sea. It's a reminder that wherever you spend your summer, sheep are never too far away in the British countryside.

Have you spotted any sheep on your summer adventures this year?

Best known for championing British textiles and craftsmanship, Patrick Grant took on a new challenge at the Great Yorkshire Show - shearing a sheep for the very first time.

stepped out of his comfort zone and into the shearing shed for a hands-on introduction to the skill and precision behind wool production.

A great reminder that every metre of British wool yarn and cloth starts with the expertise of farmers and shearers across the country.

There’s something pretty special about seeing sheep out on the open landscape of the Highlands — especially with a backdrop like this!
