All Wool and a Yard Wide

Historically, the phrase "All Wool and a Yard Wide" was an assurance that a fabric was:

​

- Made from 100% pure wool (all wool) 

- Woven to a standard width of one yard (a yard wide)

​

This phrase guaranteed that the fabric met certain standards of quality, authenticity and measurement.

​

Today the phrase serves as the motto for the American Teddywidder breed, highlighting its exceptional wool quality and abundance. While also reflecting the breed's commitment to authenticity, excellence and high standards.

​

By embracing this motto, we prioritize the health and wellbeing of our American Teddywidders. By categorizing with Wool Breeds, we acknowledge the importance of proper care. Our breed standard safeguards their health by promoting a facial structure and ear placement that maintains unobstructed vision reducing the risk of health issues associated with obstructed vision.
