UK's wool industry is making a big comeback thanks to demand from leading designers, after nearly being killed off by man-made fibres. Wearing wool is back in fashion. Sales of British wool have jumped by two thirds to £300m in six years. The annual sales have risen by 70pc from £180m in 2007 to £300m last year as the trend for typically British brands has come back into fashion.
