Natural Wool Yarn and Fiber



Fibershed 

Lani has had a growing relationship with Fibershed since Founder Rebecca Burgess toured the ranch with Lani in the spring of 2014. Lani's Lana~Fine Rambouillet Wool is a Certified Fibershed Producer and is a part of the High Desert Fibershed.

Fibershed develops regional and regenerative fiber systems on behalf of independent working producers, by expanding opportunities to implement carbon farming, forming catalytic foundations to rebuild regional manufacturing, and through connecting end-users to farms and ranches through education and team building.

Fibershed envisions the emergence of an international system of regional textile communities that enliven connection and ownership of ‘soil-to-soil’ textile processes. These diverse textile cultures are designed to build soil carbon stocks on the working landscapes on which they depend, while directly enhancing the strength of regional economies. Both fiber and food systems now face a drastically changing climate, and must utilize the best of time-honored knowledge and available science for their long-term ability to thrive.


The High Desert Fibershed is the area that encircles Cedarville, CA within 200 miles. Cedarville is very small, so by reaching out to communities with in 200 miles we can reach Reno and Winnemucca, Nevada, Lakeview and Klamath Falls, OR and many California communities like Susanville, Alturas, Fall River Mills and Redding. We hope to encourage more growers to join us and would love to be producing locally grown clothing. Let's scale this idea and see what happens!!

Climate Beneficial 

Lani's Lana Wool is certified Climate Beneficial... So, what does that mean? 

The Bare Ranch is working with the Carbon Cycle Institute and the Modoc office of NRCS — National Resource Conservation Service — to develop a Carbon Farm Plan.  We are now fully certified as a Climate Beneficial ranch, producing Climate Beneficial Wool. We have taken many steps to become a true Carbon Farm. Some practices that we utilize on the ranch are composting, implementation of a shelter belt, creek restoration, water developments, rotational grazing practices, and increased use of no till farming practices.
