The Woolens Act of 1699 aimed to protect the English woolen industry by prohibiting the export of woolen goods from England to other countries, particularly to the American colonies. This legislation sought to ensure that woolen production remained a profitable domestic industry, thereby preventing competition and ensuring that the English economy benefited from its wool trade. Additionally, the Act aimed to boost local employment and maintain control over colonial trade practices.
