Welsh Wool Industry Unveils New Logo and Yarn Project

Over the last  2 years, in collaboration with British Wool and Mentor Mon, we've been involved in a community driven project with the aim of developing a 100% Welsh and fully traceable weaving yarn.

Our aim is to ensure full traceability to Welsh farms, a premium per fleece paid to the farmers, and the opportunity for consumers to understand every step of the journey from 100% Welsh fleece to final fabric.

In a celebration of Wales' rich textile heritage and sustainable future, key industry figures gathered at the National Wool Museum on 16th October for the unveiling of a new Welsh Wool logo and the launch of an exciting new yarn project showcasing the best in Welsh Wool.

The half-day event, coinciding with national Wool Month, showcased the best of Welsh wool, businesses and manufacturing, highlighting the industry's commitment to traceability, sustainability, and community collaboration.

The programme featured presentations from various Welsh businesses including Melin Tregwynt and attendees also had the opportunity to explore an exhibition showcasing products made by Welsh companies using local wools.

The event marked the official unveiling of the new bilingual Welsh Wool logo, designed to reflect the traceability and sustainability of 100% Welsh wool products. This logo will serve as a mark of authenticity for consumers and a badge of pride for Welsh wool producers. 

Gareth Jones, Head of Member Engagement at British Wool, praised the new Welsh Wool logo: "The launch of the Welsh Wool logo marks an exciting milestone for the industry. It not only showcases the capabilities of our traceability scheme to ensure regional wool stories, but highlights our commitment to driving demand for our members wool through industry collaborations.”

Look out for the logo to ensure you're supporting Welsh sheep farmers, keeping the traditions alive as well as strengthening the future for the Welsh Wool Industry.
