    The Campaign for Wool group is crunching the numbers to see if it can make enough carpets


    The Finance Minister has confirmed new state houses, schools and Government buildings will be carpeted in wool, after next month.

    She says the wool industry is pulling together in anticipation.

    She says they are working with Wool Impact to find out what volume will be needed.
