In celebration of Khadi London’s 10-year anniversary, we are thrilled to present a dynamic one-day symposium as part of Selvedge Textile Month in London - a landmark event spotlighting a decade of pioneering work in regenerative textiles.
Khadi London CIC is a not-for-profit knowledge hub dedicated to reimagining the future of fashion and textiles. At a time when the global textile industry remains one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation and social inequality, Khadi London offers hopeful, actionable alternatives rooted in community, craft, and care. By championing decentralised textile systems and drawing deeply on indigenous wisdom, Khadi London bridges heritage and innovation, offering solutions for cultural preservation, up-cycling, and climate-conscious practice.
Interwoven: Wool Across Borders will bring together artisans, researchers, designers, and wool experts to examine how wool can support ecological and cultural resilience, decentralised textile systems, and offer a regenerative alternative to synthetic-dominated value chains. From ancestral herding practices on the brink of extinction to future-facing circular economies, the symposium offers tactile engagement, cross-cultural dialogue, and visionary perspectives on how we can rebuild the value of wool across cultures, generations and sectors.
Highlights include:
-
Decade in Review: Khadi London traces its journey from fabric supplier to industry thought leader, spotlighting transformative case studies and collaborations.
-
Panels & Fireside Discussion: Experts examine wool heritages, global alliances, uses and value of wool across sectors from fashion to insulation, and the fusion of native wisdom with modern practice.
-
Heritage Craft Workshops & Demonstrations: Experience live hand-spinning and traditional wool craft techniques that offer a sensory connection to fibre, labour, and land.
Whether you're a maker, an activist, an educator, or simply passionate about sustainable textiles, this symposium promises a day of inspiration, dialogue, and deep connection across disciplines and geographies.
