ELCOME TO THE R.H. LINDSAY WOOL COMPANY. Since 1936 our expertise has helped supply wool to hundreds of customers throughout North America from kindergarten classes to large textile manufacturers.

Boston has long been a hub for the world wool trade. During the first half of the 20th century, wool for U.S. apparel was shipped here for sorting and selling to mills through a vast broker-dealer network. Hundreds of companies thrived off the world's wool that passed through our port and shaped the commerce of Boston and New England.

Today R.H. Lindsay Company is one of a handful of Boston-based firms still trading wool. We have developed a specialty line of wool for handcrafters, artists and unique uses in a wide range of quantities. Spinning, felting and dollmaking are some of the most popular uses. We also supply wool to the commercial wool industry.

Visit our products page for photos and suggested uses of our raw fleece, scoured carded sliver, wool top, scoured wool, cashmere, camel hair and mohair. Our glossary page will introduce you to some of the terms used in describing our products.

Our applications page will give you a sense of the amazing versatility of wool. Since customers are our inspiration for new products, we welcome suggestions for new applications whether they involve large volume or small craft projects. Our links page will lead you to some of the artists who have discovered the wonders of this medium.

We simply love wool and it is our dedication to supplying those who appreciate its unmatched versatility that keeps us supplying our customers.

Thanks for visiting. We look forward to serving your wool needs.
