The famous Harvey Nichols building sits in the exclusive shopping district of Knightsbridge and will feature brightly-coloured yarn, donated by passionate woolgrowers, in a bid to promote the natural fibre.
Sally and Richard Beggs, of Glenthompsons’ Nareeb Nareeb Merino stud, were disappointed when they missed out on taking part in the ‘Fit for a Prince’ project, where woolgrowers donated wool to dress Prince William.

“Our stud had had a long association with the wool industry and we like to support these initiatives when they come about,” Mr Beggs said.
