Wool Summit aims to champion clip-to-consumer journey

The event will see farmers, luxury British designers and artisans come together over two days to champion wool, shine the spotlight on the story around heritage, highlight provenance and delve into how to navigate the British wool supply chain.

With a variety of speakers and workshops, it is the first-of-its-kind with a focus on ‘clip-to-consumer'.

Tamara Cincik, CEO of the Great British Wool Revival and Fashion Roundtable, says: "We are delighted to be hosting The Great British Wool Revival Summit at Dumfries House. This is the first event of its kind bringing the entire UK value chain together, from farmer to designer and manufacturer. I want to make farming part of the sustainable and successful solution for British businesses to thrive. The good news, is this event happening just as we've seen the price of British Wool increase by 29% since we launched in September 2024 which is a clear indication that the demand for homegrown wool and natural textiles for design is growing from strength to strength.Ìý
