Farming Today This Week: Wool

Charlotte Smith takes a look at the British wool industry. Fleeces from British sheep bring £30 million into the economy - but the wool is found in more places than you might think.
We find out why British sheep shearing talent is on the increase, what happens to the fleeces along the supply chain, how wool is increasingly used as insulation in food packaging, and about some of the high quality British fabric used in upholstery, furnishings and clothing.
