Issue 134 Fleece (pre-order)

Wool is 100 percent natural, 100 percent renewable, 100 percent sustainable, and 100 percent biodegradable—yet it accounts for less than two percent of global fibre consumption. In an era where sustainability is a driving concern for consumers and industry, statistics are striking. Against the backdrop of anti-wool protests at London and New York Fashion weeks, we champion wool, exploring its applications—from clothing and carpets to insulation and packaging. We examine rare breed classifications and spotlight brands developing farm-to-fashion supply chains. Wool’s versatility, durability, and environmental credentials position it as a key material for a sustainable, responsible future. Regulates temperature, resists odour and performs across climates, suiting heritage contemporary challenges.
