WOOL WARRIOR

Polly McGuckin recalls loving the woollen wallpaper adorning her parent’s house when she was a child. Now the owner of Exquisite Wool Blankets, Polly continues to surround herself with her favourite fibre. Wool is on her bed, her chairs — even her soap is surrounded by wool felt. The reason is simple, says Polly. “It is biodegradable, highly durable, antibacterial and flame- resistant. It is a miracle fibre.” Polly shares why she is a passionate champion of wool, plus be in to win a Herringbone Pure Wool Throw in gold, valued at $ 185.
