Palliser Ridge shears 6,000 ewes twice a year, in February and August, and 9,000 lambs once a year, in February.

This equates to roughly 40,000kgs of wool coming off our flock annually. 

Our aim is to sell our fibre in a traceable way directly to customers, manufacturers and businesses and follow the entire process to ensure we're proud of the end products created.              

The wool that is taken off of our lambs is around the 29 micron mark, which tells us that it's well suited to products such as clothing like jerseys, socks and scarves, as well as insulation and carpet.

Wool is a product with a large number of benefits, health and otherwise. It's a natural solution when insulating the house and carpeting the home, it's a breathable fibre and perfect for keeping you warm in the colder months.

It's also a New Zealand produced alternative to many imported synthetic products. Learn more about the benefits of wool here.

The Palliser Ridge Lambs Wool is perfect for outer garments such as blankets, cardigans and jerseys, scarves, hats and much more.

Partnerships with fellow New Zealand businesses such as New Zealand Natural Clothing and Inter-Weave have allowed for larger scale production of both fashion and home based wool products.

We are excited to share with you our very own Palliser Ridge Lambs Wool yarn, grown naturally down in the South Wairarapa of New Zealand.

Taken from our latest lamb shear, and sent to the Hawkes Bay Wool Scours, our Lambs Wool is then spun into yarn by our friends at Woolyarns in Wellington.

The yarn comes in a range of colours, and in the double knit (8 ply), it's perfect for handknitting, crocheting and dyeing. 

A Cosy Partnership for
Wool's Future

We're proud to introduce one of our brand partners, Lof; a local textile design studio that has just unveiled its debut product — the Wool Hoop Pendant Light — following four years of R&D. Founded by Sophie Alida Poelman and Alain Brideson, and co-funded by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures fund along with Agmardt, Lof is reshaping how New Zealand strong wool can be used in sustainable interior design.

As Lof’s wool supplier, we’re proud to partner with a brand committed to supporting a fair and sustainable future for New Zealand wool growers. Lof pays a fair rate for our wool and has built a fully local value chain, supporting both our land and our wool industry.

The Wool Hoop Pendant Light is more than just a design statement — it’s a celebration of wools natural beauty and functionality. This soft, sustainably-designed light brings the warmth, acoustic dampening, and air-purifying properties of wool into the home.

Available in a timeless natural wool colour and with five size variations, the Wool Hoop is crafted from our certified regenerative wool grown right here at Palliser Ridge.
