U.S. Senator Mike Enzi toured the Mountain Meadow Wool Mill in Buffalo, Wyoming on June 30. Enzi was able to see firsthand how the mill takes wool grown from Wyoming sheep and turns it into extraordinary roving and yarns. Wyoming is the second largest producer of wool in the U.S. and sheep ranching's roots run deep in the state. Wyoming sheep have adapted to the extreme climate and their fiber is incredibly soft and fine.
Mountain Meadow Wool was started in 2002 by two women who wanted to keep the rural sheepherder tradition alive in Wyoming. They were concerned about the lose of this way of life with many sheep ranches closing down. The ladies took action and turned the challenges into an opportunity - they now have a working mill that creates beautiful yarn and returns 10% of each sale to the ranchers that provide the wool.
You can buy Mountain Meadow Wool products on-line as well as in Casper, Sheridan and Gillette. www.mountainmeadowwool.com
