Imperial Stock Ranch is a 140 year old, family owned ranch with a long-standing tradition of sustainable practices that work in balance with nature. Located in the rolling High Desert of Central Oregon, the ranch itself is on the National Register of Historic Places, with the historic Hinton House serving as ranch headquarters. Every year their flock of Columbia sheep is gently sheared of their wool, removal of which is essential to the sheep's health. The wool is then custom milled and dyed to produce the fine quality yarns that make up these soft and luxurious throws.
