April 25 - Wool Day
Get Fleeced
That alpaca sweater you’ve got on, those wool socks, the silk tie—they’re all made from animal fibers. So, today we celebrate the sheep, the alpaca, the silkworm and all the other animals that supply us with sturdy natural fibers. And there’s no better time as the United Nations has declared 2009 the International Year of Natural Fibers.
