Cestari Sheep & Wool Co.

Since 1946, Cestari Sheep & Wool Company has proudly operated as a family-run business, focusing on the production of American-made luxury wool products. With a keen dedication to quality, we manage a wool sheep operation that primarily involves Merino and Merino-type breeds. Additionally, our commercial textile mill produces a variety of wool and cotton blend yarns used for knitting and crocheting. Our yarns reach customers across all 50 states, as well as international markets in Canada, Spain, and Japan.

We uniquely emphasize acquiring wool exclusively from the U.S. to complement our own production. Recognizing the decline in the wool sheep population domestically—from 54 million in the 1940s to just over 5 million now—we are committed to rejuvenating the presence of wool sheep, particularly east of the Mississippi River.

Our small yet dedicated team works tirelessly to maintain traditional methods of wool production, from the shearing process to crafting finished yarns. Engaging customers not just within the country but globally remains at the heart of our mission.
