The Campaign for Wool is a global endeavour initiated by its patron, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, in 2010 in order to raise awareness among consumers about the natural benefits of the fiber, and also provide support for farmers and the textile industry. “Wool is an extremely natural, renewable and biodegradable fiber — absolutely sustainable,” His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales said,”Choosing real wool is also a love for our planet.” Since its launch in 2010, The Campaign for Wool has influenced a new demand for wool on an international scale, and its efforts have seen an outstanding threefold increase in the price farmers receive for their wool. This global event is supported by major trade textile organizations, designers and retailers, including Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood and Topshop.
Sport has become the must-have part in our life and work. And with the constant evolution of sportswear, opportunities are given to more fabrics. Natural woolen fiber is a healthy and eco-friendly material in the natural world, which satisfies the global sustainable development. Sportswool made of the blending with other fibers can better fit the physiological functions of human body. The blend of The Woolmark Company’s merino wool and other fibers is convenient, resilient and elastic; The textile is also breathable, waterproof and fast-dry.
Nowadays, people pay more attention to releasing the original feeling of body. Comfort has been the top requirement of consumers instead of fashion. The birth of athletic wool subverts the stereotype of knitting and satisfies the more casual lifestyle of modern people. Sportswool maintains the natural properties of wool, including softness, air-permeability and odor resistance. Novel spinning technology endows textiles with better elasticity and resilience, and allows wearers to be free and comfortable during sport. Covering yarn and embedded composite spinning are the two major spinning methods currently.

With the constant development of textile industry, eco-friendly CiCLO degradable polyester, Paramos weak-acid skin-friendly cellulose fiber, anti-bacterial chitin, Nano Silver technology and odor-resistant PANACEA photocatalytic man-made fiber can all be blended with wool to take the comfort and functionality of sportswool to another level.
