William Halstead joins the global celebration of Wool Month, an annual event highlighting the remarkable qualities and benefits of this natural fibre. Running through October, the initiative has become a significant event for the wool industry. As a manufacturer of luxury cloth, we’re committed to showcasing wool’s exceptional properties in our fabrics.
What is Wool Month?
Spearheaded by the Campaign for Wool, to raise awareness about wool’s versatility and natural advantages. Supported by HM The King, this initiative emphasises wool’s renewable, biodegradable qualities.
Why Wool Month Matters to William Halstead?
As a manufacturer of luxury cloth, we deeply appreciate wool’s unique characteristics. October allows us to celebrate this cherished fibre and educate our customers about its benefits. Wool forms the foundation of our fabric production, and we take pride in weaving luxurious and sustainable woollen cloths.
This month aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability. Sheep produce a new fleece annually, making the fibre a renewable resource. Woolgrowers continuously strive for efficiency and resource management, ensuring a sustainable future for the industry. By participating, we reinforce our dedication to producing environmentally friendly fabrics.
Why Wool Matters?
Wool, a natural fibre, offers one of the most effective forms of all-weather protection. These properties make it ideal for luxury fabrics:
- Renewable Resource: Sheep naturally replenish their supply.
- Sustainability: Woolgrowers prioritise sustainable practices for industry longevity.
- Natural Insulation: Wool’s structure creates air pockets, keeping you warm or cool.
- Biodegradable: Unlike synthetics, it decomposes naturally, minimising environmental impact.
- Durability: The fibres are exceptionally strong, making woollen fabrics long-lasting.
- Moisture Management: It absorbs moisture without feeling damp, keeping you comfortable.
William Halstead’s Contribution to Wool Month
We’re proud to contribute to the initiative by increasing the use of Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified yarn in our fabrics. This certification ensures our materials come from farms adhering to strict animal welfare and land management practices. By choosing RWS-certified fibres, we support industry sustainability and promote ethical animal treatment alongside responsible land stewardship. Find out more about our sustainable practices in ‘The Cloth Choice for Ethical Luxury’.
