Discover Norway’s Wool Industry
Norway’s wool clip runs to approximately 3,300 tons. More than 12,800 private, small-scale family farms grow this wool with 880,000 ewes and lambs. The most common breeds are the Norwegian White and the Norwegian Short Tail. Mean fibre diameter is ~32 micon.
Used in apparel, hand-kniting yarns, throws and blankets, upholstery and carpets, Norweigan wool is a strong, resilient, and versatile fibre.
Based in Brussels, she enjoys the challenge of coordinating communications across time zones and cultures, whether she's working with sheep farmers in Australia or fashion brands in Europe. When not immersed in wool industry trends, you might find her on a yoga mat or exploring Belgium's excellent coffee scene.
