Springtime is shearing season, which means the warehouse is full of wool.
Mountain Meadow Wool can be found in a nondescript warehouse just outside of Buffalo. The company works with small woolgrowers from across the country, but mostly from Wyoming, to turn raw wool into a variety of products.
According to operations manager Ben Hostetler, the business was born from his mother s interest in crafting with natural fibers. But she was unable to find local yarn to use. After getting raw wool from a Johnson County rancher, she brought it up to a small mill in Canada to have it turned into yarn. That s when she realized this could be a business.
