The Wool Plan 2021-2026
Updated: Mar 17, 2022
May 31, 2021 - In 2020, Wool Advocates founder, Jane Underhill, began collaborating with the Campaign for Wool in Canada to produce the first strategic plan addressing the challenges and needs of the Canadian wool industry.
The reimagined, revitalized Canadian wool industry rests on creating the right size and configuration of infrastructure and brokerage systems for our existing wool clip, for wool producers, innovators, and intermediaries see an immediate benefit.
As Wool Advocates, we're encouraged to see wool innovation in the semi-industrial and interiors markets, along with new trends in sustainable fashion, blending wool with other animal and plant fibres for versatile clothing textiles.
We're equally optimistic about wool producers and manufacturers exploring the use of genetic mapping, traceability, technology, AI, and robotics to improve wool quality, accessibility and value.
