Hello! I'm Clara Parkes. I'm an advocate for wool, and I invite you to join me.
Together we’ll learn why it’s crucial that we use wool not only for socks and sweaters, but also in new and innovative ways.
We discuss sheep farming and regenerative practices and climate change; we look at how wool can replace synthetics in a wide range of products from garden compost and insulation, to packaging and bandages.
If there’s a wool connection, we go there.
You can support wool advocacy by joining the Foundation Flock.
Or join 7000+ wool-wise subscribers and receive my free Wool Wire newsletter. And, if you want to help spread the wool word, please consider joining the Foundation Flock. Your support keeps me going.
