More Info about RWS and Shaniko Wool:
Shaniko Wool Company was founded in 2018, building on Dan and Jeanne Carvers' legacy at the Imperial Stock Ranch (est 1871) in north central Oregon. In 1999, the Carvers pioneered a new model, selling their wool directly to textile brands that valued transparency and land stewardship. In 2017, the Imperial Stock Ranch became the first ranch in the world certified under the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), setting a precedent for responsible wool production.
Today, Shaniko brings together a group of family ranches across the American West and is the leading U.S. source of RWS-certified American Merino. By supplying wool at scale with verified standards for animal welfare, land management, and chain of custody, Shaniko connects global textile partners to fiber grown with integrity.
