We’re celebrating 25 years of The Wool Clip co-operative throughout 2026 in a number of ways.
• Special creations in the Caldbeck shop (and online) - these are being sold in aid of the 25th Anniversary Awards fund and share a colour scheme;
• An exhibition, The Wool Clip: 25 Years in the Making, at Farfield Mill. This opened on Wednesday, 2 September and runs until Sunday 1 November;
• Anniversary Awards for those starting out with their own wool-based businesses.
The first tranche of Awards (£250 each) was announced early in September (see blog below). Further applications are encouraged - we plan to announce a second tranche in December. Thank you everyone who has contributed to Award funding so far:
- Our accountants, Saint & Co (Wigton office);
- Viridian Distribution Ltd, our suppliers of knitting and crochet tools;
- Past and current members of The Wool Clip;
- Generous visitors to the Caldbeck shop and a WI group to whom a member made a presentation.
We’re excited about celebrating our passion for wool with you this year and hope you can join us.
