These Wool Notes are dedicated to answering your questions about wool and how it is grown and used. An internet search will only get you so far. Then you need to go to the source.

There are many myths and lots of misinformation circulating about wool, unchecked. We, the International Wool Textile Organisation, developed the Wool Notes in direct response to queries made to us.

Inside this booklet, you’ll find everything you need to know about wool, from sheep to shop:

  • Wool’s history
  • Farm economics
  • Wool sheep welfare
  • How fibre becomes fabric
  • How wool biodegrades
  • Wool recycling
  • Chemicals in wool processing
  • How wool can help improve sleep

And much more.

New in this edition: a chapter on wool and carbon, plus a lexicon of the most-used wool vocabulary.
