Vanessa Bell on what fresh eyes can achieve for Merino wool
Vanessa Bell is the founder of Vanessa Bell baby blankets, bespoke 100 Australian Merino Wool baby blankets, knitted with care over 3 months by an expert team of hand knitters. Vanessa's blankets are one-off pieces that have been sold all over the world.
Vanessa didn't grow up on a Merino farm, in fact she came to love wool as a catwalk model at age 15. She's a wool farmer now, but Ness is a great example of the passion, pride and ingenuity that can happen when fresh eyes are cast on an age-old industry. In the future, she's determined to bring wool scouring back to Australia and to knit blankets using Merino wool from her own flock, in order to discover a true farmer to fashion product.
