This is a recording of a public lecture that was delivered live at the Eureka Centre on 07/08/2025. In this talk, Madelyn Shaw and Dr Trish FitzSimons expose how heightened demand for wool in wartime existed historically in an international vortex of negotiation, intrigue and anxiety, and the unexpected effects of all this on how we dress today.
