Member Information & Wool Values

The UK has more sheep breeds than any country in the world – over sixty different breeds cared for by more than forty thousand farmers on hills and lowlands.

The diversity of breed and fleece type means our wool can be used in a broad range of applications including flooring, bedding, furnishings, insulation and apparel. Ulster Wool sells producer’s wool into global markets through auction, to processors, manufacturers, retailers and ultimately consumers.
