Campaign for Wool aims to educate as many people as possible about the benefits and versatility of wool, and has once again partnered up with shopping hub The Strand Arcade to put this particular animal product back on the fashion map, putting on a mammoth bash in Sydney last week with designer discounts and bespoke artistic creations.
To celebrate the third Wool Week, here are five ‘ewe-nique’ ways to get knitted out in winter’s favourite fabric.
