The Campaign for Wool was His Majesty King Charles III’s initiative when he was The Prince of Wales in 2008. It was officially launched in 2010 to assist wool growers throughout the Commonwealth in challenging the rise of toxic synthetic fibres in fashion, interiors, and the built environment.
Over the past decade of the campaign, His Majesty The King (the then Prince of Wales), as Patron, has visited numerous regions in the UK, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa to engage with wool growers. The purpose of these visits is to explain the distinct environmental excellence and ecological benefits of wool in all its end uses.

Introducing three new additions to our Highgrove Heritage Collection, a collaboration between Johnstons of Elgin and Highgrove made from the finest 100% ultrafine merino wool. The colours are inspired by the Royal Gardens at Highgrove, from the honey tones of our bees to the evergreen hues found in the Stumpery.
The previously sold-out honey-toned Heritage Highgrove Scarf is now available in two limited editions, nature-inspired colours: grey and green. The exclusive collection includes a beautifully soft wool throw featuring the original heritage scarf design.
The Dumfries House Tweed idea originated when His Majesty King Charles III visited several manufacturers in Hawick, Scotland. He was impressed by the variety of regimental and estate tweeds produced by Lovat Mill, the home of tweed, which led to a collaboration to create a bespoke design for His Majesty to wear exclusively. Highgrove has since adapted the design for various homewares and textiles, including a wool throw, scarf, cap, and tie. All these products are made from 100% Saxony lambswool, which is resilient, warm, and incredibly soft.
These super-soft, high-quality, pure new wool throws exude warmth and luxury. These classic-looking blankets are not just for keeping you warm and cosy around the fire on a chilly evening; they also serve as a stylish accent on your bed or settee, adding a touch of elegance to your home decor. Made in the UK by Tweedmill Textiles, they all feature fringed edging and either a herringbone, houndstooth or check weave.
This stunning, one-of-a-kind wool blanket will make an exquisite and valuable addition to your home and garden and combines timeless design with environmentally friendly manufacturing. Made by Tweedmill Textiles, each throw is made from recycled soft wool yarn destined for landfill, making each unique. Renewable and long-lasting, they are perfect for summer picnics or keeping toasty during the winter and make a cosy addition to your home.
Indulge in whimsical style: Handmade with meticulous care, these sheep-shaped footstools feature realistically carved heads paired with sumptuous British sheepskin coats for an indulgent touch. Our Lord and Lady Mirabeaux Sheep Footstools perfectly blend practicality and charm. These lifelike, near-life-size sheep footstools are crafted meticulously by Ewenique Furniture on the picturesque Island of Portland. Each footstool is not just a piece of furniture but a companion that provides comfort and a touch of whimsy. With a realistically carved head and a luxurious British sheepskin coat, these sturdy and durable footstools are designed to add a unique and playful element to any room while ensuring your comfort.
