Suffolk sheep wool offers unique qualities that set it apart, despite its coarse texture and occasional black fibers. Mountain Meadow Wool has embraced this locally abundant resource, transforming Suffolk wool into robust yarns ideal for durable products like home decor rugs and table runners as well as beautiful saddle blankets. Through a cooperative project with Gist Yarn and Fiber, Suffolk wool is gaining recognition for its durability and beautiful heathered appearance, especially suited for weaving. Ranchers like Lisa Keeler and Erasmo Garcia of Surprise Co. have made Suffolk sheep a staple, breeding them for resilience and adaptability. This collaboration celebrates the journey from ranch to artisan, enriching the story of Suffolk sheep wool.
