Just as Irish wool growers face challenges, farmers in other parts of Europe face similar challenges in finding markets for their fibre. The Arena Swedish Wool Economic Association was formed in September 2022.
They aim to promote the members’ interests, contribute to strengthening cooperation for Swedish wool, and work to increase its use.
They have information about standardising wool sorting by quality versus breed.
“This means that wool from different farms and breeds, but with similar properties and uses, can be combined into larger quantities. The hope is that more Swedish sheep owners will receive a provision for all wool and increase their income.”
