The British Wool Marketing Board is responsible to UK sheep farmers for the handling and promotion of all fleece wool.

A natural fibre grown from a renewable source, completely recyclable and 100% biodegradable, British Wool is generally courser, more bulky and resilient than other wool's and is particularly suitable for quality carpets required to maintain their appearance and withstand continuously heavy wear.

British Wool is safe and does not easily ignite; provides thermal and acoustic insulation; successfully reproduces colour; ensures clarity and definition of design and is easily maintained.

This is why the Hong Kong airport building, the Royal Albert Hall, the White House, the world's most prestigious hotels, cruise ships and office buildings all choose British Wool carpets.

You can easily choose them for your home. There are hundreds of ranges on the market, to suit every taste, made by all the leading manufacturers. Look out for the British Wool shepherd's crook symbol on the carpet label, to identify those whose wool content contains at least 50% grown in the UK.
