Wool House
It's all about wool, natural, renewable and sustainable. It's a tremendous exhibition backed by The Campaign for Wool, and everybody involved in this extraordinary creation has given their time for free.
Such an inspirational event, do try and get to see it, be prepared though to get very excited about textiles and yarn. Somerset House on the Strand until March 24th, admission is free so you've no excuse.
