British Wool at the Heart of Kizzyka Designs

British wool runs through almost everything at Kizzyka Designs – from felted landscapes and crewelwork pieces to Iron Age-inspired workshops.

Why British Wool?

  • Heritage: Wool has shaped the history of the British Isles for centuries.
  • Sustainability: Using locally sourced wool supports British farmers and reduces transport.
  • Character: British breeds offer a wide range of textures, from soft to robust.

How I Use British Wool

  • In feltmaking, British wool provides strength and texture.
  • In embroidery, wool threads echo historic crewelwork while feeling warm and tactile.
  • In workshops, using British wool connects participants to local landscapes and farming.

Caring for British Wool Textiles

  • Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent.
  • Avoid sudden changes in temperature.
  • Dry flat, away from direct heat and sunlight.
