"The Wind in The Wools"
From the insanely windy shores of the Falkland Islands to the brutal and barren landscape of Wrangel Island in the Russian Arctic, this brand new series explores the life and death challenges faced by man and animal, and some of the unique roles that wool has played. ​​​​​
Falkland
Islands
For many, the Falklands War put the global spotlight on this long-overlooked archipelago in the South Atlantic. In fact, the war, or conflict as it is called, is what redefined both Falkland culture and their sheep industry amidst a land raped of its fertility centuries ago.
Learn why some of the whitest, finest Merino is grown in this inhospitable landscape and how the oil industry and climate change may affect this premium fiber—for better or worse.

St Kilda
​
St Kilda is the outermost island of the Scottish Hebrides. It so small and so remote that it often doesn't appear on most maps. For centuries, the St Kildans endured everything Mother Nature could throw at them. They are most noted for having chosen to be evicted from their island home and selling their sheep to help finance their new life on the mainland.
​
Discover why the Soay sheep, has one of the oldest legacies in the wool world.

Wrangel
Island
Wrangel Island could rightfully be called the "Siberia of the Arctic"—but worse. For more than a century explorers wound up on its shores, intentionally or otherwise. The Russians tried to secure their claim by installing a year-round population. Those efforts ended in murder. Now, Wrangel boasts a large population of musk ox that thrive in the wind and the cold. Their luxurious qiviut—millions of dollars worth—is left to rot on the tundra.
