ABOUT
Lovely Valley Wool was created to support sustainable agriculture and the relationships it forges. For our love of the land, the livestock, and each other.

Our products are 100% American grown and American made. "Lovely Valley" is the summer range where our sheep grow soft, beautiful wool.
My great-grandfather herded sheep on this same range in Northern Nevada after arriving from the Basque Country. In 1974 my grandfather, Buster, started the Dufurrena Sheep Company. It is still run today by my grandmother, Linda and my father, Hank. Grandpa was always generous to share his knowledge and stories of the past. I asked him about the changes in the wool industry and why American made products are so hard to come by. And when I started the quest to keep our family’s wool local, he smiled and said, “See what you can do with it Meg.”

It's been a few years in the works... but I've found a great supporting cast and Lovely Valley Wool has a line of yarn and throws to share!
