Countess of Wessex Visits Haworth Scouring

Sophie, The Countess of Wessex, visited Haworth Scouring to have a look around the plant and familiarise herself with this essential part of the British Wool Industry.

Whilst visiting Haworth Scouring, The Countess had chance to meet a number of players involved in British Textiles and opened Haworth’s stunning new showroom, ‘The Wessex Room’. The Wessex Room is not just your ordinary showroom, this particular room has been carpeted in our very own 100% Real Shetland Wool carpet and was admired by all who took part in the Royal visit.
