Duckworth can trace its roots back to when John Helle’s grandfather purchased ranch land for his sheep in Montana for 2 cents an acre.
For many years the Helle family sold the wool from their sheep to brokers, who often mixed it with lower quality wool and sold it to the highest bidder. John Helle says he always wondered where their product ended up being used. In 2014, the family decided that they were going to start making their own products using just the Merino wool from their own sheep.
Duckworth is now a Montana source-verified wool company that uses 100% Helle Rambouillet Merino wool, processed, designed, and 100% sewn in the USA. The company makes its own products, including shirts, underwear, socks, and jackets, from its own Merino sheep and does not outsource it or mix it with lower quality wool.
This is increasingly important as wool now travels farther than ever before it meets your body. Duckworth wool fibers travel from Montana to the Carolinas (once a world powerhouse for textiles) for spinning, knitting, and sewing to strict standards. 
Duckworth products are born, sheared, designed, and sewn in the USA. Helle says that the demand for their products has more than doubled in the past 3 years.
Company headquarters are located in Bozeman, Montana.
