Here comes December … end of 2025 … the wonderful festive season! A time when we love to give gifts, thanking people for all they have done this year, Christmas presents celebrating the season and so much more!!

When you are trolling the shops for your festive season presents this year…. Think about supporting local, buying products that are sustainable, natural …. Good for you and good for the environment. Choose a present that will last, that is timeless, that isn’t part of fast fashion trends or high consumption marketing!

Check the label, know who you are buying from… who is the designer …. Who made your clothes/duvet/slippers??

Let your purchase choice mean something! Let your choice of gift to a loved one be a gift to a small South African business owner aswell this December!!

Wool is becoming an important fibre in South African fashion — valued for its comfort, strength and versatility. It can hold shape, stay warm, breathe easily and work across many making techniques, from knitwear to felted textiles.

These images captured by at the 2022 Wool Festival show how wool can create texture, pattern and structure in clothing and accessories. Each piece reflects careful making, local skill and a connection to the land where the fibre begins.

More South African designers are choosing wool for its practical benefits, natural feel and long-term wear, supporting a fashion approach that is considered and locally focused.

Celebrating Wool - its authenticity, realness, versatility and beauty! What an integral part of the Karoo culture! What else is an integral part of Karoo Culture? A true Karoo Kuier of-course !!!

Thank you to Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of Gift of the Givers, who joined us as a keynote speaker at the Karoo Winter Wool Festival in July.

His contribution brought depth and reflection to the festival, reminding us of the importance of community care, shared responsibility, and collective resilience.

During the festival, Ge**er & Co donated 100 emergency blankets (20% wool) to Gift of the Givers.
This contribution reflects the value of local production and the role the wool industry can play in supporting communities in times of need.

We are grateful for this gesture and for the ongoing work of Gift of the Givers across the country.

South African fashion is embracing a return to natural fibres. Wool, grown across the Karoo, connects design to landscape and material to meaning.

The exhibition Wool World: Beneath Karoo Skies, co-curated by Viviers Studio and Hoven, explores how local designers work with wool to create pieces that reflect both heritage and innovation.

We can’t wait to continue to explore how fashion and design are experimenting with wool in the 2026 Wool Festival! Be sure to be there !

Every fibre of wool tells a story, starting from the farm to finished garment. The Karoo Winter Wool Festival brings this story to life through demonstrations, talks, and hands-on learning.

The Youth Show was a wonderful event to teach the children at the festival how to respect, look after and love livestock. Thank you for your brilliant contribution to educating our young farmers and fibre lovers.

Discover how wool is grown, graded, spun, and transformed into the products we use every day.
