The freely accessible resource will enable users to choose a selection of wool fabrics and yarns in which they are interested. Users will immediately receive an email with the details of their chosen swatches along with the contact information of the applicable manufacturers that the user can contact to request samples.
“The Wool Lab is the world’s only collection of curated, innovative yarns, fabrics and processes dedicated to wool and therefore offers an unrivalled and global opportunity for wool textile sourcing,” says Julie Davies, The Woolmark Company’s general manager for product innovation and education extension.
“Extending The Wool Lab into the digital space will enable designers, buyers and sourcing teams to continue to connect with known suppliers and discover new, global suppliers, strengthening supply chain partnerships which is imperative within our industry.”
As well as being in a new online format, The Wool Lab Digital also presents new market trends and product innovations that are most relevant to the current global situation.
