I’ve read “Less”. A lot of the history I already knew (I’m a history teacher), but the social and economic interpretation was fascinating. I’ve always knitted, but most available yarn these days is acrylic in 100g balls and wool is expensive to buy. So I started knitting FairIsle patterns with Shetland wool. They come in 25g balls, so little waste and what is left over, can be used up in smaller garments such as hats and gloves. Plus it takes me a long time! I looked to buy T Shirts from Community Clothing, but was disappointed to find they all came with ‘badges’. Other organic outlets want to make political eco statements on their garments. I just want to buy ethical, plain, neutral clothes I can wear with anything. 🙏

I’ve just started listening to Patrick Grant’s book, ‘Less’, and it’s really crystallising in my mind what I already have been thinking… less = more happiness, quality is everything, and buy British.

Vs? the made it same for pillows for situations they know better than themselves To make Wool into a bull Regards prank call cow tornado 😂

The High Majesty King Charles the Third will never patronize us. He's already too compromised, as all his Royal Family.

Yikes. No one was weaving ... The Coast Salish, Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian are relatively new to me. Some of the inspiration that I feel from these people are their weavings. I tried weaving on a ridgid heddle loom in my past, and I am still into fabric arts (specifically kumihimo). These people share my interest in wood carving, too. Whole tribes with a rich history of textiles and carving and stories! As a San Diegan, I, too, have a connection to the water. I wanted to be an oceanographer when I was little. I, too, have a connection to animal spirits - although I'm catholic, I still feel the spiritual connection.

Love this!

This gladdens my heart to see! ❤

Proud to be members of The Campaign for Wool and The British Wool Association

Isn't that SO cool they can weave by bike!!! Genius!

lol

Thanks for these videos. I just love wool.

yes. not too bad. But let's get real .... isn't there something quite hypocritical about the monarch speaking about ecology .... burring wool in his rose garden to proof sustainability ...? Getting in touch with colonialism in a deeply human way is a chunk of what ecology must be about and this maximum - privileged geeser is talking as if he never in his life was in trouble (cause he was not). Folks - the future grows from the past so we need something deeper than that. And yes, wool and sheep and good, intelligent farming .... more of that. Much more. ( I am a farmer) But we ain't gonna get it unless we start thinking about the mythologies that underlie western modern culture and thinking .... which brings us back to the monarch talking about circularish ways of living. What the fuck ?

Stunning Video - captures the people place and product of Harris Tweed and the farm to fleece narrative

Love wool. I am surprised by how many people will use oil to dress in every day, when there is such a fine, renewable source for clothing.

I love these videos.

Thanks for this video. I have played this for my students.

Goosebumps!

Wow. Such a short, but interesting video. I wish it was longer. Nothing beats hand-made goods, based on traditions.❤

Australia is a wool super power. AUKUS subs will rule the world. 🦘👑🦅💪💪💪

I love wool! This was very entertaining thank yoU! Keep up the wool Content, ily <3

Absolutely fascinating! I am a home spinner, weaver, dyer who very much respects the vision, expertise, dedication of the people showcased in this documentary. Thank you

Normally a cynic, in this case I think not...HRH Charles, whatever you think of the old fellow, NEVER CROSSES THAT LINE..I think we have something here...

Too bad and maybe surprising there aren't any constructive comments here. In my opinion this video downplayed the methane part and the soil destruction part. These wonderful examples of carbon neutral and regenarative farming practices still need to be taken into use globally. We also need standards for animal welfare overseed by a third party. And what about Merino breed taken over all the heritage breeds? Haven't the humans still learned that versatility is the key for successful future? We can't simply rely on one breed, it's gonna be a recepy for disaster. Wool certainly is very versatile but if wool needs to reinforced for longevity it cannot be plastic. Also we need drastic change in thinking that we need fast fashion. It serves no purpose other than feeding fashion giants never filling money pockets.

Hm. I think someone is trying to appeal to my conscience to sell me some wool

Of course wool biodegrades, who doubted that? Nobody was thinking that sheep have been polluting for thousands of years, now have they? I guess this is in response to those who call wool unsustainable. I understand: sheep ruminate, producing methane. They also take land from forests. In the prehistoric past, sheep were only found in mountains in Iran; now they're everywhere. Still, I think sheep is a very good animal to have: meat, milk for making cheese, horns for making spoons, and don't forget wool: the best material for winter clothes.

❤️ love ❤️ thank you I enjoy spinning wool. I wish we had more eco friendly communities. I would live on one if it’s was affordable.

What is the position of these wool propagandists to such firms as Peter Hahn which sell Louis Sayn jumpers and cardigans for men made of mixed natural and synthetics in high proportion i. e. 50% + 50%?

Why aren't the locations of the landfills filmed disclosed?

Charles pronounces "Ellen" like "alien".

While buying fabric for my suit, I found out, though not surprisingly, that higher wool percentage meant higher price. Although higher price doesn't always mean something is a higher quality product, it often is the case. HRH Prince Charles is correct, we need to choose wool over artificial fibers. I wish and hope more and more people recognise this so that there would more production of wool so that there might be a drop in the price of wool.

Keeps sheep alive in snow drifts so must be good ,,,, in Uk they are throwing away on some farms not worth selling putting on compost heaps

👏👏👏👏

purchased!

Is there a site with an overview of British mills and what they make?

British textile mills need to market themselves better, so it's good to find this channel. Outside of bespoke houses and a few mass market ready to wear manufacturers few end wearers will know where their fabric came from. Some may know a few foreign mills but not British mills.

I like wool, too. Unfortunately, my husband is allergic to it, so, he cannot touch it or wear it.

THIS IS FAKE...THIS IS NOT PRINCE CHARLES.....A DOUBLE OR CLONE FOR SURE......THE ROYAL PALACE AND THE VATICAN ARE AT PRESENT CRIME SCENES.. INVESTIGATE.. THIS IS ABOUT C19...A MILITARY TAKEOVER.. A COUP-DE-TETE..A CYBER WAR

Agreed. Love all my wool sweaters and natural fiber clothes. Can't stand synthetics.

The Prince of Wales makes many excellent points about wool's sustainability. If properly cared for, a well-made wool outer garment can last many years. I personally own some wool coats and jackets that are at least 60 years old and formerly belonged to my father. Now I intend to wear them as much as possible this winter (2020-21) and will be in the market to buy more wool clothing to support the sheep farmers in the future.

I like the way that looks. It is more dense than some of the wool insulation I have seen. I would like to get a insulation on the outside of my house and put in a rain screen. Is this sold in the U.S.?

Good day dear friends we sell wool. Any comments please

We live on a Prince Charles development (Poundbury, Dorset). Every window and door is wood, neither PVC nor composite are allowed. Every one to two years the door frames and windows have to be maintained using more wood and many chemicals. Although the residents of the development have campaigned for low maintenance doors and frames, the answer is always no. HRH doesn't always get it right. Chemicals are just as harmful to the environment, as is using inferior wood for building, so I would love to know his reasoning behind the projects he supports and those he doesn't which are equally beneficial.

This stuff should get made here too, in Canada. Why people use rock or purple insulation when you can get real, natural, better stuff made from wool that is widely available is beyond me. There should be someone to start a factory up here. BTW, how does the price of these bats compare to rockwool or purple insulation?
