New York Times-bestselling author, speaker, and wool advocate
Clara has dedicated her life to exploring the stories behind, and qualities of, all the fibers that we wear on our bodies—and taking readers along for the journey.
Through her wool advocacy, writings, workshops, books, and television and radio appearances, Parkes champions the notion of paying closer attention to what we put on our bodies and where it came from.
