If you’re ready to rug up in kind knitwear or scrub up in a sustainable suit, now’s your time!
November is Plant Wool Month, a 30-day celebration of the hard-working crop farmers, innovative textile makers, and pioneering designers who spin plants into yarn and yarn into the future of fashion and homewares.
Swapping methane for oxygen, and chemical dips for rainwater, plant wool is a revolution that reminds us that we can innovate to subvert climate catastrophe, while still embracing fun and functional fabrics.
Plant Wool Month is a time to recognise the beauty, diversity, and sustainability of wools borne from the extraordinary plants that give the Earth its lungs. From hemp and bamboo that sequester carbon, to floral yarns that reduce horticultural waste, and fibres that divert food waste, plant wool is wool – but better.
Throughout November, Plant Wool Month highlights sustainable, biodegradable and recyclable yarns that produce far fewer greenhouse gas emissions and require less water and land than sheep’s wool. It’s an initiative built not on industry hype, but facts, and inspired by a hunger for fabrics that give to the planet.
Plant Wool Month reminds consumers to build their wardrobes mindfully and mobilises brands to offer more truly sustainable plant yarns for their knitwear, suits, and more.
Welcome to a world beyond plastic and pollution…
Welcome to Plant Wool Month.
Because sheep don’t grow on trees, but wool can!
