British Wool

Britain's heritage and wool has been synonymous for centuries, dating back to Roman times. In our blog we discuss how wool became the cornerstone of the British economy, the importance of the British Wool organisation's role in wool grading and animal welfare -  and why British sheep farming is still important today.

At Devon Duvets we've been supporting British farmers for over 15 years, through making our British wool products. But understanding the role of farming in the UK goes deeper. It is connected to every meal we eat, the products we buy and the stability of our economy. In this blog and accompanying podcast, Dick highlights the critical role that farmers play in all our lives. 

Behind every one of our indiviually handcrafted wool products is a story of British sheep farming and its role in maintaiing our countryside and rural economy. In our blog our Managing Director, Dick Beijen, explores why supporting our hardworking farmers is more important than ever.

Wool is a natural and sustainable fibre and has been part of the UK's heritage for centuries.

We also invite you to watch our latest podcast by one of our founders and directors, Dick Beijen.
