The future of fiber is regenerative. Increasingly, American sheep ranchers are switching to practices that make the land a keystone of the supply chain. This means actively managing grazing to bolster soil health, drawing down and storing atmospheric carbon (known as carbon sequestration), and intentionally safeguarding biodiversity. This is the American wool that improves the planet.
-
The strength of the American wool supply chain lies in its proximity and dedication. When you procure domestically, you are directly investing in the livelihood of American ranching families and the well-being of their rural communities. This commitment ensures a reliable, transparent, and responsive supply chain that builds economic resilience for your label, regardless of global shifts.
-
American wool offers an unparalleled combination of integrity and finish. Its quality is comparable to the world's most luxurious fibers, distinguished by a desirable loft and resilience. On the ethical front, all production is regulated by U.S. labor laws, and a growing number of producers are taking the significant step toward ethical third-party certifications. This commitment to transparency is amplified through Aries Wool Advisory, giving you access to a vetted supplier network and a fully traceable supply chain—the assurance of quality and ethics from sheep to shelf.
