Through its network of relationships, they highlight Australian wool’s position as the ultimate natural fibre and premier ingredient in luxury apparel.

STOLL presented an exclusive webinar for the 2020 International Woolmark Prize (IWP) Finalists. This webinar showcased STOLL's latest innovations in flat knitting technology, digital design tools, ADF technology as well as examples of wool used in STOLL's collections.

Ireland’s Richard Malone was announced the winner of the 2020 International Woolmark Prize and Emily Bode also celebrated after winning the inaugural Karl Lagerfeld Award for Innovation.

The Woolmark Learning Centre has been developed to educate and inspire specialisation within the wool supply chain. The educational platform offers an unprecedented level of knowledge transfer from industry experts within the global textile industry and is designed for students studying fashion, agriculture, science and textile engineering; designers, brands and retailers; and manufacturers of yarn, textiles, and garments. Developed in response to the global shift in education towards agile, self-paced and digital learning, the platform will work to unify the global textile supply chain. STOLL supported Woolmark for the launch of the Woolmark Learning Centre with images from various stitch constructions and items of clothing from the STOLL archive for the knitwear design and make module. The launch of this module is planned for Spring 2020.
