Wendy Keith Wins Best Organic Textile Product
last updated: May 5th, 2010
Wendy Keith has just won 'Best Organic Textile Product' at at the '2010 Natural and Organic Products Europe Show' using Cornish Organic Wool.
She presented four small Colletions to be judged:
The Caillagh Weave Collection, The Victorian Lace Collection, The Scottish Moorland Waistcoat, and more importantly the Glen Maree Collection. This Collection was created using organic wool from Home Farm, Highgrove in Gloucestershire, which is owned by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales.
This wool was recently acquired and organically spun by Cornish Organic Wool. This is the first Collection that has been hand-knitted using organic wool from the Prince's own flock of Lleyn Sheep.
The three other Collections were hand-knitted, using organically dyed wool from The Duchy Farms of Hall Barton & Wayland (to Soil Asscoiation specification), thus creating a stunning display of colours. All the organic yarns used are fully traceable to each farm and the date of the shearing of the sheep. . Wendy acknowledged "Cornish Organic Wool's achievement to produce such beautiful organic yarns with minimal impact on the environment, has been outstanding". . In conjunction with Wendy Keith, Cornish Organic Wool is proud to be supporting The Wool Project, which was recently launched by The Prince of Wales. .
