LET’S WORK TOGETHER!

Irish Grown Wool Council

Our Vision:

• Bringing wool stakeholders across the island of Ireland to realise the potential of wool as a natural, sustainable and versatile material.
  
• Building on wool’s rich heritage to enhance understanding and appreciation of the characteristics of Irish ‘grown’ wool.
  
• Facilitating collaboration in product / market research and ultimately applying innovative product solutions to address current challenges and create future opportunities.

Our Aims:

• Establish an All-Island Irish “Grown” Wool Council to promote the brand
  
• Collaborate with a Wool Research Innovation Hub for innovation with wool
  
• Run school and public programmes on the attributes of Irish Grown Wool to address the dearth of data available on Irish Grown Wool
  
• Develop an Irish Grown Wool standard and ensure traceability from farm to needle regardless of where scoured
  
• Support regionally based primary producer owned Wool Co-ops
  
• Seek contract wool grading and logistics arrangements to facilitate a regionally based wool industry feeding a national promotional, sales and marketing operation
  
• Encourage better awareness and training on wool handling and presentation. Re-instate traditional wool handling and presentation standards training programmes for primary producers, shearers, merchants and graders
