Wool Month 2025

/

October marks Wool Month — a time to celebrate one of nature’s most remarkable and sustainable fibres. From the rolling hills where sheep graze to the craftsmanship that transforms raw fleece into luxurious products, the wool industry has a long and proud tradition of quality, sustainability, and comfort.

The Campaign for Wool was launched in 2010 to educate consumers about the benefits of wool and help to support and grow the wool industry. Run by industry groups convened by His Majesty King Charles III, the Campaign works to engage consumers through exciting fashion, interiors and artisan activities centring around Wool Month each year.

So here we are, once again singing praises to this beautiful natural fiber.

At James Erskine, we’re proud to be part of this story — bringing timeless beauty, warmth, and practical benefits, all encompased in our Erskine Twist wool carpets range.

Here are just a few benefits of introducing wool into your home interiors:

The Benefits of Wool Carpets in Your Home:

  1. Naturally Resilient & Long-Lasting
    Wool fibres bounce back, resisting crushing and wear. With proper care, wool carpets maintain their luxurious look and feel for years.

  2. Soft, Comfortable, and Warm
    Few materials match the comfort underfoot that wool provides. It adds instant warmth and a welcoming feel to any room.

  3. Naturally Stain-Resistant & Easy to Clean
    Wool has a natural coating of lanolin that helps repel dirt and liquids, making it easier to keep your carpet looking fresh.

  4. Improves Indoor Air Quality
    Wool fibres can absorb common pollutants and help regulate humidity — creating a healthier, more comfortable indoor environment.

  5. Sustainable & Biodegradable
    When it’s finally time to replace your carpet, wool breaks down naturally, returning nutrients to the soil rather than ending up as microplastics.
