TheWoolChannel

Welcome! I’m Clara Parkes, author of Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool. The Wool Channel is my member-supported publication and community dedicated to giving wool a voice in the world.  

I’ve been a resident yarn expert on PBS, I’ve explained wool on NPR, and my book Knitlandia: A Knitter Sees the World spent a month on The New York Times bestseller list in travel, much to the consternation of Bill Bryson.

The fibers we wear have a huge impact not only on our bodies but also our soil, waterways, farmland, and communities. It's time to step away from the plastic and back toward natural fibers—especially wool.
