Wool House and the Campaign for Wool

There is yet another wonderful event happening at Somerset House this week and its called Wool House for The Campaign for Wool.

There aren’t many places in central London where you are greeted by a friendly flock of British sheep!

The exhibition itself is full of gorgeous tributes to wool – rugs, fashion, interiors and of course……yarn!! Wheeee!
