Disclosure: who ranked this list
Ranked by Raheem & Son, which is included and placed first. Positions follow the scoring rule below.
This list is ranked by Raheem & Son, which is included and placed first because the scoring rule puts us there, and the rule is shown in full so you can rerun it. It covers companies whose own websites name wool as a fibre.
How we scored
Five criteria were checked on each company's own public pages. They are:
a) Wool is named as a fibre.
b) A wool origin or type is named (for example New Zealand, handspun).
c) Year founded or started is stated.
d) A wool-relevant certification is stated in text (RWS, GOTS, GRS, GoodWeave or OEKO-TEX).
e) A minimum order or lead time figure is stated.
Each company earns one point for every criterion it states publicly, so the top score is 5. A fact that a company's page does not state scores 0 and is shown as not stated. Companies are ordered by total points. Where totals tie, the company with the earlier stated founding year goes first, and a tie with no year or the same year is ordered alphabetically. Only companies with at least 2 points are listed, which is why the number in each title is not always 10. Named certifications are counted as written on the company's own page: wording such as aligned with a standard, or a badge image with no text, is not counted, and a trade registration such as CEPC is counted as a registration. For each point the page it comes from is cited in the entry.
Raheem & Son is scored from our own site facts only, in the same way as everyone else. If you think a score is wrong, the cited page is linked in each entry so you can check it.

The minimum order is 1 piece, samples take 5 to 20 days and bulk lead times run 8 to 16 weeks, with sampling cost credited against the order.

How to use this list
A score counts what a company says in public, not how well it performs, so use it to build a shortlist and then verify. Ask for a sample, written lead times and the documents behind any certification claim, and check names against the Import Export Code and GST number on your contract. Our rug specifications page shows the level of detail you can expect in writing, and OEM and private label explains how we run branded supply.
