Each year, the world produces over 1.1 million tons of wool, according to the International Wool Textile Organisation (IWTO, 2023). 🐑🐊🧥
That may sound small compared to global cotton output, but wool carries a value several times higher per kilogram. From a sheep’s back to a winter sweater, this fiber is light, warm, and surprisingly durable.
Captain Discovery follows the journey from raw fleece to refined fabric — and from crocodile hides to polished leather used in luxury fashion. So how does raw fleece transform into the fabric that has shaped fashion for centuries? Today, we step inside the mill to uncover the process in How It’s Made: Wool, Crocodile Leather, Pure Leather.
