From California to the Southeast, our network of farmers are implementing regenerative practices on U.S. croplands. Originally marketed as C4 cotton (California Cotton Climate Coalition) we offer long staple cotton like Pima and Acala as well as shorter staple Upland cotton varieties.
In California, more than 200,000 acres of cotton are grown in the San Joaquin Valley—enough to create at least 7 pairs of jeans each year for every person in the state. Within cotton systems, we see an opportunity to rebuild soil carbon and water-holding capacity, renew biodiverse wildlife habitats, reduce or eliminate the use of synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, and more.

Textile Pool
We are looking for brand or artisan partners who would be interested in purchasing our initial run of colored Merino wool and a Suri & Huacaya alpaca blend, from fleece sourced in Ojai and Somis in Ventura County in 2023. We have just under 65 lbs of 2-ply bulky, about 30 lbs of the pale and 35 lbs of the dark. Drawdowns are available; fiber is on cones and large skeins.
This is a bouncy fiber with a yummy hand, perfect for sweaters and warm So Cal nights. Please reach out if you’re interested! We’d love to partner with a brand for a super small capsule collection and co-leverage some marketing attention. Does this sound like you?!
We are also underway with Fiber Pool 2.0 - the fleece is headed to the mill already! – and are looking for designers or brands to collaborate. If you would like to get in at the yarn development stage, please reach out soon. Spring shearing will come up quickly, and we’ll want time to discuss the right fibers for your project.
