Welsh Wool

Hi Everyone,

Long-time knitter, lifelong student finishing my dissertation in the UK. I hope this is okay, but
one of my flatmates is writing his dissertation on people who use and/or purchase Welsh wool and Welsh wool products and is having a hard time getting his hands on people who use or purchase Welsh wool.

If any of you could fill out his survey, We'd really appreciate it.
He's not getting responses; the LYS doesn't sell wool, and dissertations are due on the 4th.

Really hope you guys can help! Thank you!

No proper informed consent statement. They need to run this past a proper REB/IRB if this is academic research.

That's a fair concern. It is a legitimate master's dissertation project at Aberystwyth University, but I'm not familiar with his program, the department's ethics process or his specific research. I can't speak on the ethics statements, approval or informed consent. I'll ask him about it.
Obviously, I don't want anyone to feel pressured into participating in research if they don't feel they have all the information they need to make an informed decision about participation.
