About Wools of New Zealand

We grow wool fibre, we provide wool to global brands, and we even produce our own 100% wool carpets

Our story

Our company was founded by farmers with the belief that we work in harmony with nature to grow the world’s ultimate natural fibre and that people deserve better than plastic.

The planet needs the most sustainable products possible, so we started producing our own carpets from wool we grow ourselves.

Grown in New Zealand

New Zealand is the perfect environment to grow wool.

More than that, it’s the ideal place to grow wool in the most environmentally-sensitive way possible.

Which is exactly what the farming families who own our company strive to do.

By being accountable, traceable and sustainable, we lead the world in producing wool fibre that stands the test of time and contributes to a better planet.

Accountable

Integrity programmes and industry specialists back up what we say about our wool.

Traceable

Our wool can be traced back to the farms and families who grow it.

Sustainable

Our sheep grow a new fleece every year, creating wool from nothing but grass.

Fibre for life

Farming families that look after the land

Wools of New Zealand is owned by the people who grow our wool, farming families that look after the land so it may be passed to the next generation.

Our farmers are custodians of the land, caring for soil, water, biodiversity, and animal welfare.

By choosing Wools of New Zealand fibre, you’re supporting a circular economy built on regeneration, not extraction.
