At Stone Wool, we source wool from American breeds, some rare, others more familiar. And we spin it in ways that enhance its distinct characteristics in order to explore with you these marvelous yarns. We especially love wool from specific sheep breeds. We delight in their various natures: soft and cushy, crunchy and durable, or shiny-sleek and strong.
