WOOL the length of more than 900 train carriages has been weaved into Bicester Village just in time for Christmas.

Wrapped round lampposts, benches and bodies is more than 18,800 metres of wool at the designer shopping outlet to support the Campaign for Wool.

Pop-up shop British Wool Collective was also opened by Blur star Alex James and the British Fashion Council’s Caroline Rush on October 16.

Bicester Village communications director Sophie Hedley said: "To support Campaign for Wool, Bicester Village has embraced everything woolly.

"From all the great British knitwear brands in the pop-up, to the guerilla knitting peppered throughout the village and the wonderful carpets kindly lent to us by Brintons Bicester Village is all things woolly this Christmas."

The wool - longer than 195times the Big Ben - is all guerilla knitting at Bicester Village exclusively created by specialist knitwear designer, Claire Nixon.

Influenced by architecture, Ms Nixon hoped to create designs by looking at negative space and how it creates shadows that can be intertwined into the pattern.

The event marked not only an early welcome to winter but the upcoming one year anniversary since Bicester Village Station was opened.

Chiltern Railways managing director Dave Penney said: "We opened Bicester Village station just 12 months ago as part of a wider £130 million investment to deliver a new route between Oxford and London Marylebone.

"The line has created a seamless travel experience for customers; with one in ten visitors now travelling by train, this will only increase due to the ease of travel and journey times from just 46 minutes."
