Just Wool Textiles X PTSD UK
We’re excited to announce that Just Wool Textiles are supporting PTSD UK and have created two beautiful scarves and neck warmers inspired by the PTSD UK brand colours and our clouds.
The colours along the length of the scarf are our PTSD UK brand colours: the colours of the lotus flower.
The main body represents the sky, this has to be carefully dyed to achieve the effect when woven.
How they’re created
The essential base ingredient for handwoven creations is non-itchy quality British wool (some blended with Silk) & British-spun cotton.
Just Wool Textiles use suppliers who can trace the fibres to source, ensuring quality of supply. It matters where they come from & how they’re produced.
Neil hand-dyes when he needs colour in small batches. Hand-dyeing takes time, but the results make it worthwhile.
Consideration for water & energy usage as well as caring for the fibres is also thought about. A microwave provides heat for the dyeing as opposed to gas on the stove as this is more energy efficient & water is reused where there will be no detriment to the colours to be dyed.
A manual spinner removes excess water & the fibres are then allowed to dry naturally.
NeilI uses traditional handlooms, checking edges for neatness & fabric for the right tension by hand, there is no magical device to assist.
Depending on the fibres used, making a Scarf starts at around three hours, a large throw around twenty-four. Hand-tying the fringes can take over an hour, Baby Blankets have over four-hundred pairs to tie.
Each piece takes time to give you years of enjoyment.’

Treatments for PTSD
It is possible for PTSD to be successfully treated many years after the traumatic event occurred, which means it is never too late to seek help. For some, the first step may be watchful waiting, then exploring therapeutic options such as individual or group therapy – but the main treatment options in the UK are psychological treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprogramming (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
Traumatic events can be very difficult to come to terms with, but confronting and understanding your feelings and seeking professional help is often the only way of effectively treating PTSD. You can find out more in the links below, or here.
