Did you know there is a bridge across the river Tees that was built on wool? Can't remember which one it was as it was so many years ago that I found out. And, one of my uncles was buried in a woollen coffin.

I went to buy a pillow today and every single pillow was microfibre or latex other that 2 duck down ones that I have an intolerance to. I have a wool doonah and would love to have a wool pillow. Nearly all my clothes are natural fibres and wool is on my favourites list however my subtropical weather means only 6 weeks a year I can wear my jumpers. Awesome video.

@@cathymadsen2930 Time we returned to far more natural fibres instead of all this man made crap that sheds fibres everywhere. Especially when washing them which then leads to them polluting our rivers and seas. I did try hemp clothing a few years ago but the quality was absolutely crap. Felt like you were wearing hessian sack cloth. Do wear a bit of bamboo stuff. However, it soon wears out and not sure how ethically it is produced.

I love to buy old vintage wool sweaters on line. They are still beautiful after many years of wear. There is nothing warmer than wool. I just wear a nice cotton turtleneck underneath and I stay warm and cozy all day long in winter. People think I’m a bit crazy because I refuse to wear synthetics but instead choose to wear linen, cotton, wool or cashmere. Thanks for bringing this to everyone’s attention. ❤

So important to keep educating people. When I look back at the 70's and 80's ( I lived in a non-Western world before then) I am so horrified at the lack of natural materials - glass and metal replaced by plastics, wool and cotton and linen replaced by plastic, even our food was replaced by plastics. And the worst of the matter is that so many people had no idea. Thank you for this film. It makes many of us feel we are not alone in our quest to come together and try to keep the earth together and healthy.

Wool is absolutely not forgotten by me. I knit all my own woolens, and sew many of my summer clothes, always of natural fibers. I only wear wool, linen, cotton or silk. I buy good quality pieces that, frankly, feel like a stretch when I buy them, but even after four or five years in my wardrobe, are still relatively new, and can be recut, resewn into a different style, or made into something else completely if the mood strikes, because the cloth is good.

What breaks my heart is when government departments decide not to put wool carpets into state houses or schools. Don't they understand that they need to support our own wool growers? Also, woollen carpets are way more fireproof than all the plastic stuff available now. We need to buy NZ made. ❤

What a wonderful discovery this little documentary has been. In the past I'd always been involved in big outdoor projects, but 5 years ago illness drove me indoors and more or less glued to a chair. Then I discovered a bag of knitting I had tried and failed with in 1997. So I thought; have another go. Slowly but surely I made my first ever object in wool! Problem, it had synthetic bits in it, so I set out to find 100% natural fibres, both animal and vegetal. 4 years on, I've saved a fortune of excessive heating bills by spending some of my savings on fibres which keep me warm. I'm just sitting sowing up a full length pinafore dress I've knitted in mohair which comes from a farm about 15 km from my home. Worn over silk/wool fine under sweater and home knitted leggings (again, local wool), I shall be very cosy without being bulky. So thank you so much, sheep & wool people, for bringing me so much pleasure.

Man set up a mutually beneficial contract with sheep. The sheep are stuck in a promise we made to them, to grow fiber unending. Through this contract as miraculous as the redwoods, as a human organ, as the human gut biome, wonder more fantastic than any digital computing will come up with were presented to us. Do we value this miraculous relationship that can meet our needs of which wool is a part of the outcome? I doubt such a synergy of miracles will happen again like this. We shouldn't wait until it is lost like the passenger pigeon or dodo. Its replacement will absolutely be less and at best an approximation.

Wool. Just can’t be bettered for warmth, sustainability and it’s self cleaning so doesn’t get stinky like man-made fibres. There’s a lovely Finnish lady who cleans her knitwear by snow washing (Saana Vaara I think). About 6-7 years ago I knitted my husband a traditional Icelandic jumper, it never has been washed - just gets put outside in the summer sun and on windy days. I’m currently mitten wrangling and learning the art of fairisle but will only use pure wool and not suoerwashed. Even my mattress has sheep’s wool in its construction - there’s something comforting in the sheepy smell of it. I’d like to agree with everyone who said a longer film would be lovely.

As a resident of a northern climate I absolutely love my wool! I have invested in key pieces. I have a coat I can trace back to the farm it came from. At the moment I am wearing merino wool long John’s and sock with a cashmere sweater. With 4 more wool sweaters hanging on my rack to dry from today’s laundry.

I love wool 😁 I crochet and I'm a beginner knitter and only buy wool not acrylic 👍 I did start out learning with acrylic but as soon as I tried pure wool I never went back! So much nicer to work with and the end result is better quality and 100% warmer.

why not use it for insulation as well as for clothing.

@ Best place to start wool spinning with a low entry cost is with a simple student spindle kit like from the Woolery (not a small fancy spindle that maybe difficult to handle and cost much more) and the book ‘Respect the Spindle’ which is well written, a fun read.

I really enjoyed this and wished it was at least an hour or 2 long!! It's just wonderful - please make more! I will be checking out your channel and likely watching everything you've got loaded there. I so badly miss the sheep we and both sets of my grandparents raised!! Some of my earliest memories were bottlefeeding orphan lambs when I could barely stand up myself. I remember helping to move flocks of sheep down many roads from one pasture to another, along with grandfather and his dogs. That doesn't happen here anymore. I wish I had been able to truly appreciate that way of life, & realize it would not always be an option for me! 💙🐑🐏🤗🧶🌅

I'm gonna memorize this song, and sing it, in my head, whenever I'm anxious (which is pretty much all the time 😕).

SOOO good and true to watch and learn something that was once the most original concept of sustainability and the healthiest life is the best life. Au Natural is and will always be best. TY for sharing.

It is almost impossible to find anything pure New Wool nowadays, everything mixed with Nylon. Such a shame.
