There’s nothing quite like wrapping yourself in a soft, warm wool throw at the end of the day. Whether you're curling up on the couch with a book, enjoying a glass of wine by the fire, or just adding a little extra comfort to your bed, there’s something about a beautiful throw that makes a space feel truly lived in.
At Waverley Mills, we’ve been weaving blankets in Tasmania for over 150 years. And while every piece has its own story, there are a few throws that have quickly become favourites with our community. Here are five of our most-loved wool throws and what makes each one so special.
Inspired by one of Tasmania’s most breathtaking coastlines.
If you've ever been to the Bay of Fires, you'll know how magical it is with its bright orange rocks, white sands, and that crystal-clear water. This throw captures all of that beauty in a warm, earthy design that’s perfect for chilly evenings.
Why it’s a favourite:
-
Made with a blend of new and recycled wool, it’s as sustainable as it is stunning.
-
Its heavier weight makes it ideal for snuggling up outside either by the firepit, by the sea, or just on the back deck.
-
Each piece has its own personality, thanks to the recycled fibres woven in.
“Just beautiful. This item exceeded my expectations - beautifully made, gorgeous colours and generous size. I just love it and look forward to having it in my world for a long time.” - Leanne Hanrahan
Bold, beautiful, and full of personality.
This one’s for those who like a splash of colour and a touch of drama. The Gem Throw in Cobalt features oversized plaid in deep brown and rich jewel blue that’s eye-catching but still incredibly cosy.
Why it’s a favourite:
-
Made from 100% Australian Merino wool, it’s buttery-soft and breathable.
-
The colours are rich but grounded, making it a perfect match for both modern and rustic homes.
-
It adds instant warmth and style, whether you drape it over the couch or take it outside on a cool night.
“Totally gorgeous. The Gem Throw in Cobalt exceeded my hopes. The colours work so well on my sofa. The feel of the wool is luxurious, and the throw is light enough not to become a burden.” - Philip Saggers
Because your pets deserve good design too.
Let’s be honest, our furry friends end up claiming our favourite throws anyway, so why not give them their own? This recycled wool pet blanket is soft, sturdy, and stylish enough to leave out all the time.
Why it’s a favourite:
-
It’s made from the same recycled wool blend we use in our classic throws, meaning it's cosy and kind to the planet.
-
Easy to take on the go and perfect for car rides, trips, or just curling up on the living room rug.
-
The subtle speckled weave and charcoal whipstitch finish keep it looking good, even after plenty of use.
“Purchased again. Our second blanket! The quality, softness and warmth of this pet blanket is amazing. Our pup loved the first blanket in his bed sooo much that I ordered a second one for snoozes on the couch over winter.” - Athena Leonard
A collaboration that’s changing the way we think about waste.
This one’s special. Made in collaboration with Nudie Jeans, the Ture Throw uses recycled denim from worn-in jeans to create a deep, inky-blue throw that’s one-of-a-kind. Made using 30% post-consumer Nudie Jeans denim, it's woven into a monochrome masterpiece.
Why it’s a favourite:
-
Woven with 30% post-consumer denim, it’s a true example of circular design in action.
-
The colour comes entirely from the indigo-dyed jeans, so every piece has that worn-in, well-loved feel.
-
It’s warm, weighty, and perfect for those who care about the story behind what they buy.
“As soon as I saw the Nudie Jeans x Waverley Mills Ture Throw advertised I knew it was exactly what I wanted. The colour is serviceable and is highlighted by the flecks of darker and lighter blue. A good weight as an extra layer on a bed for cold night!” - Anne Haward
Soft, timeless, and made to be lived with.
There’s a reason the Herringbone Throw is a long-time favourite. With its classic pattern and soft golden hue, it fits seamlessly into any room and feels just as good as it looks.
Why it’s a favourite:
-
Made from ultra-fine 18-micron Merino wool, it’s beautifully soft and lightweight.
-
The golden colour brings a gentle warmth and brightness to your space.
-
It’s versatile to use it on the bed, the couch, or wrap yourself up with it on chilly mornings.
“A lovely gift. Beautifully soft and light, will be treasured by my mum in cold winter nights.” - Celia Sutterby
