Part 2 - The Grade

Why British Wool? A Palava Film Series

When we first started exploring British wool, we thought it would be quite simple. But with so many different breeds of sheep, each producing wool with its own qualities, where do you begin?

In the second chapter of our film series, we discover the fascinating process of wool grading, where every single fleece is graded by hand.

With 60 different pure breeds of sheep, there's an extraordinary variety to explore. And as we discover, there's no such thing as the best wool. It all depends on what you want to make.

Watch Part 2 as we discover just how much there is to learn about British wool.
