A Year of Canadian Wool
I travelled thousands of km’s this year promoting and speaking about my book The True Cost of Wool. In yarn shops, libraries, book stores and fibre shows I met with hundreds of people excited about Canadian wool and a sustainable future for our industry. It was inspiring to introduce people to the current state of Canadian wool and to witness those ‘aha’ moments with so many people.
I would love to continue travelling, teaching and speaking about Canadian wool, but I’ve been working on some ways to bring that same learning to a broader audience through my new digital year-long subscription.
A Year of Canadian Wool offers insights, research and activities that will guide you through your own exploration of Canadian wool. Each month a new topic will be explored with new content, tutorials and a mix of video, audio, pdf's and other tools to guide you through the various aspects of Canadian wool. Enjoy 12 months of deep dive into the world of Canadian Wool.
I am offerring a special launch price to my newsletter subscribers from now until January 10, 2026. Registering will lock in the price of $15/month for the entire 12 months (you can cancel at anytime).
