A DEEP SOURCE OF PRIDE

Duckworth is proud to be the world's only source-verified, 100% Montana-grown Merino Wool clothing company. Our dedicated team carefully manages every step of the process, from raw fiber to finished garments. Knowing  what makes Merino Wool unique is our business.

THE RANCH

Starting at our ranch in Dillon, Montana, Duckworth’s open-range Merino sheep live between 5,000’ and 9,500’ elevation. Temperatures range from -40 to over 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the wilderness where our sheep graze on natural grasses and Montana wildflowers found on remote mountainsides. The unpredictable and rugged conditions of the Northern Rockies result in a rare type of Merino Wool that other wool clothing brands can’t reproduce: an incredibly soft, durable fiber with exceptional loft and breathability thanks to an unparalleled degree of "crimp" within the fleece. With knit clothing, you want a lot of stretch and comfort, and that fiber gives it a unique natural stretch.

Fine merino wool fabrics.

Merino Wool from Duckworth’s sheep ranch is graded for quality and selected for its end use. Then we spin those choice fibers into a proprietary yarn. The spinning, knitting, and dyeing process is part science and part art. It requires specialized know-how, trusted American partners, and the long-term vision of a fourth-generation ranching family from Montana. Each Merino sheep produces anywhere from 8 to 14 pounds of wool, which makes about 8-10 shirts.

A deep understanding of the manufacturing process allows us to find opportunities for innovation at every stage of development, resulting in breakthrough proprietary wool clothing and practices. Our ultralight Vapor Wool and Maverick fabrics, ultra-soft-yet-durable Powder fabric, and our WoolCloud insulation were born from this process.
