About National Wool Museum

Wool was once one of Wales' most important industries. Located in historic Cambrian Mills, from where Welsh woollen blankets, stockings, shirts and shawls were sent around the world, the National Wool Museum offers engaging experiences and learning for all ages.

Find out how wool is processed from fleece to fabric on our self-guided trails, explore exhibitions on the history of cloth-making and its use in fashion, and try your hand at traditional skills such as carding and spinning before marvelling at the skills of our craftspeople in processing wool.

The National Wool Museum is part of Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales, a family of seven national museums across Wales.

Dogs are not allowed inside the museum buildings but are welcome outside and must be kept on a lead.
