Precious raw materials: seaweed and wool
So what - I hear you ask - is the connection between wool and seaweed? Well, as well as founding Herd I also run a wild, organic seaweed company called Atlantic Kitchen, which I founded in 2012.
The connection to me is completely natural - both are abundant, local, native raw materials that grow in perfect quality, seasonally, without inputs or cultivation. Both are brilliant sequesters of carbon, meaning their growth locks atmospheric carbon into the soil, or ocean bed or into the lustrous locks that become knitwear.
