Hi-- I have just discovered a local store geared toward the craft of hooked and needle-punched and braided rugs-- which uses wool cut into narrow strips. So in this age of polar fleece, there's a store chock-full of wools of all weights and colors, year-round! I suggest she look for something like that.
No idea if that particular craft is "big" in England, but it's certainly worth looking into...
