A Montana ranching company aims to revive U.S. textile industry

The wool from these lambs, all raised by the Dillon-based Helle Rambouillet Ranch, will be processed into yarn, fabric and finally woolen garments bearing the Duckworth label.

The American-made, performance-oriented woolen clothing is gaining a cult following among outdoor enthusiasts. Wool clipped in early June will show up on Bozeman-based Duckworth’s website, http://www.duckworthco.com/ and in about 75 specialty outdoor stores early next year.
