British wool prices have climbed to their highest level in nine years, yet the industry is contending with fresh questions about how wool is produced, following protests at recent fashion weeks. The dual narrative captures both the promise and the pressure facing natural fibres today.</p> <p>In mid-September, animal rights activists disrupted COS&rsquo; New York Fashion Week show, urging parent company H&amp;M Group to abandon wool after footage emerged allegedly showing mistreatment at a farm linked to the fast fashion giant. The group argued that certification alone cannot guarantee humane treatment. Maclean, however, believes the industry should focus on &ldquo;visibility throughout the supply chain, giving brands and consumers confidence in where the fibre originates and how it is produced.&rdquo;</p>
