A Brief History of Merino Wool
The history of Merino wool dates back to the 1200’s,
when the Moors crossbred Spanish sheep with Berber
sheep to produce the first Merino sheep. By the 1600’s
wool from Merino sheep was recognized as the world’s
finest wool, as it is still today. Merinos of all types were
introduced into Australia in the late 1700’s. Through
selection and crossbreeding, and with particular
attention to the impact of the environment on both
animal and fleece, the Australian Merino that we now
know evolved.

Commitment to the EnvironmentSince 1850, Godfrey Hirst has been committed to providing the very best in fibers. We believe in wool’s
authentic sustainability. Continuing in our commitment for a better world, our philosophy of
minimizing the impact of operations on the environment has resulted in a manufacturing process that
is efficient and environmentally responsible.As manufacturers of fine wool carpets, Godfrey Hirst believes in being a good steward of the earth.
That’s why we chose wool as our fiber of choice. Before it was easy to be green, we chose to be green.
Making a commitment to the environment means more than simply recycling carpet. It involves
finding the most effective and least wasteful methods of making products from the start, including its
choice of fiber.
Godfrey Hirst takes a proactive approach to
environmental issues.
