Ghost Town Tweed Sport

The wool in Tumalo Fiber Ghost Town Tweed Sport comes from Shaniko Wool Co. Merino/Rambouillet cross sheep. These sheep are raised by family owned ranches in the Great Basin region of the American West. 

Led by champion of the American wool industry, Jeanne Carver, Shaniko Wool Co. is a truly sustainable wool. In 2018, Jeanne and Dan Carver's family ranch, Imperial Stock Ranch located near Shaniko, Oregon, became the first ranch in the world to be RWS certified. RWS certification ensures that the people, land, and animals associated with production of this yarn and fiber are all treated fairly and ethically.

Shaniko Wool Co. is building on the Carver family's commitment to regenerative farming practices which promote healthy ecosystems and preserve biodiversity for current generations, and those to come. Now a farm group of 10 ranches over 4 states, Shaniko Wool Co. is also NATIVA Regen certified, the first third party certified, regenerative wool program in the U.S. With a double NATIVA + RWS certification, Shaniko Wool Co. fiber is 100% transparent and traceable from sheep to skein, raising the bar for sustainable wool sourcing in the United States.
