In the heart of New Zealand, where rolling hills meet pristine landscapes, a remarkable journey began. It’s a story of resilience, tradition, and a commitment to nurturing the Earth. This is the story of the Campaign for Wool and Lost Horizon Handicraft, where sustainability and community empowerment intertwine.
Once upon a time in October 2008, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, gazed upon the challenges faced by the wool industry. Wool, with its remarkable qualities, had been overshadowed by synthetic fibers in a world rushing towards the new. HM King Charles III, a sheep farmer and a passionate environmentalist, believed in the inherent potential of wool to not only benefit fashion, interiors, and the built environment but also to care for our precious planet.
As a precursor to his successful venture in popularizing mutton as a premium product, King Charles III gathered a diverse group of wool enthusiasts at Clarence House. From sheep experts to wool marketers, they all shared a common thread—the love for wool. Out of this harmonious meeting grew the Campaign for Wool, a global initiative uniting people from all sectors to champion the cause of wool.
The Global Campaign for Wool Executive, representing organizations such as the International Wool and Textile Organization, The British Wool Marketing Board, Australian Wool Innovation, New Zealand CFW Trust, and Cape Wools South Africa, joined hands to bring wool back into the limelight. Wool Weeks, Wool House in London, and other international campaigns reminded the world of wool’s unparalleled qualities.
