Let's hope this happens soon so that natural fibres, which the UK could develop extensively by reinvesting in flax transformation, hemp processing as well as refining British wool into the healthy outerwear we so need to face this rainy summer! I see a cheery future for some new British spinners to make their way, and for UK interiors to be full of British linen and wool...
