National Wool Museum

Nestled in the Welsh village of Dre-fach Felindre, the museum offers a unique window into the history and cultural significance of wool production in Wales. Displays chart the journey of wool production from ‘Fleece to Fabric’, whilst crafters demonstrate the process that is still rising in demand today.
