R.H. Lindsay Company Wool Merchants has a wonderful history you should read here.

R.H. Lindsay Company was founded in 1936 by Ralph Lindsay. Currently his grandson Philip S. Lindsay and great-granddaughter Grace Lindsay-Parks are keeping the company going supplying industrial quality wool products to the handcraft market (or anyone else who might need it)!

From the About page: “The Boston operation has long been a home-based enterprise working under the radar with only a back office function. However in 2014 we leased some space in the old Draper Felt Mill in Canton, Massachusetts. Just minutes from Boston and next to an operating textile mill it felt like the right place for R.H. Lindsay to relaunch it’s outreach into the New England sheep and craft market. Any grower wanting to sell wool is invited to set up an appointment. Any artisan or crafter in the area or visiting is encouraged to do the same. This year we’ve tripled our space and brought in more wool to fill it. We will continue to add more products to our line and as we continue to grow we hope to bring more options for everyone to select from when addressing their artistic or business needs. Please do let us know what you’re looking for at anytime. While we might not be able to supply that rare ancient breed fleece, we cover the gamut of wool grown from ancient Churro to Merino.”

Shop wool, make an appointment to visit in person (right next door to the historic Draper Knitting Mill) and check out this helpful wool glossary.
