The Campaign for Wool has appointed stylist and art director Arabella McNie as curator of “Wool House”, the biggest ever celebration of wool, hosted in Somerset House, Central London 13^th – 24^th March 2013. The event will showcase interiors,  fashion, artisan and craft making all featuring wool in a modern, visionary way.

Arabella said, “I am determined to show wool as a modern fibre and visitors will see a broad spectrum from ultra-modern and hi-tech to highly luxurious and more traditional. There are some amazing fabrics and flooring and Wool House will showcase some stunning room sets which will really show the difference that wool can make and inspire greater use of the fibre.”

The event has invited leading interior designers to offer their vision. Exclusive room sets from Donna Wilson, Ashley Hicks, Josephine Ryan, Anne Kyrro Quinn, Mary Fox Linton of Fox Linton Associates and Kit Kemp will feature alongside a huge wool art installation commissioned by the Campaign from the acclaimed Dutch tapestry artist, Claudy Jongstra.
