As the major buyer of spinner style superfine wools in the world, and the largest purchaser of the Stanley Vale wool clip, I have no problem in recommending Stanley Vale to any potential merino breeder The Bower Family and the Stanley Vale clip are synonymous with integrity and quality.

New England Wool have been consistently purchasing this clip since our Company began in 1990. Kevin and Tim have always bred and prepared wool clips that allow the highest level of competition from all potential wool buyers. Their perseverance and pursuit of excellence was rewarded in 1998 when the Stanley Vale clip won first prize in the new England Wool “Ultimate Clip Competition” which saw Tim and Sybilla travel to Italy to meet with our Italian shareholders (renowned fabric makers Successori Reda and Vitale Barberis Canonico).

The ultimate softness, crimp evenness, brilliant whiteness and superior strength of the Stanley Vale wool makes it ideal to cope with the rigorous production criteria required for the highest quality superfine fabrics. Our Company keeps statistics of all the wool we purchase in any season and Stanley Vale appears every year, along with a large number of clips based on the Stanley Vale bloodline.
