Woollen Woods
Collection by Voluntary Arts Week
The Woollen Woods is an enchanting outdoor art installation that will go up in 6 woodlands across the country this May - featuring hundreds of woodland-themed woollen artworks in support of ‘The Campaign for Wool‘. Participants can use any technique to create their woollen artworks and are encouraged to use yarns with a high wool content where possible because – like the sheep – it’s remarkably hardy and can withstand the elements.
