This programme brings back to children an understanding of wool and a heritage that has moulded the uses of wool today in Ireland. It also looks at wool as an eco fibre and how wool can play its part in the conversation of
climate change
This is a very exciting and unique programme which also supports the fabric and fibre strand of the Art curriculum it is also cross curriculum .

As part of this on line programme each enrolment will also receive goodie bag of fabric from Irish woollen mills across the country .
