21 Wool Masters and Opening Wool Week 2012

The first edition of the Dutch Wool Week is officially launched with the opening of the exhibition '21 Wool Masters' in Amsterdam. 21 top fashion designers and promising fashion alumni are showing unique woollen creations at Hotel Droog.

The Wool Week is an initiative of Campaign for Wool. From 5th to 11th of November 5th 2012 you can find scattered throughout different locations in Amsterdam the unique properties of wool. With their surprising designs, the 21 Dutch 'Wool Masters', are showing  that wool is not just the sustainable natural product with a long history in fashion but also a product with a promising future. Wool is hot!

The Campaign for Wool is a global community of sheep farmers, retailers, designers, manufacturers and you, the wool lover! We are united by our patron His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. The Campaign for Wool aims to educate as many people as possible about the incredible benefits and versatility of wool in fashion, furnishings and everyday life. This in turn, supports many small businesses and local farmers whose livelihoods depend on the wool industry. Every year The Campaign for Wool holds ‘Wool Week’ a week long celebration packed with woolly stunts, events, artisan workshops and gorgeous wool fashion.
Check out our global calendar to see where Wool Week travels to next, but for now enjoy Wool Week Amsterdam.
