Why Australian Merino Wool feels so different
Australian Merino Wool will change your idea of softness
Most people think they understand wool.
They picture thick fisherman sweaters, traditional knitwear, or sturdy blankets - warm and durable, but perhaps a little rustic.
Australian merino wool tells a very different story.
Tasmanian wool – the epitome of softness & warmth
At the edge of the Southern Ocean, Tasmania – Australia’s remote island state – boasts clean air, rugged landscapes and a cool climate, perfect for growing the finest merino wool on the planet. At Waverley Mills, we source most of our wool from farms 'just up the road' from the Mill and complete the entire milling and weaving process on site.
We are truly merino wool obsessed and we hope you will be, too.
Warmth without weight and nature’s own climate control
Tasmanian merino wool is not simply warm - it is adaptive:
• Retaining warmth in cooler conditions
• Breathing when temperatures rise
• Wicking moisture away from your body
• Resisting odor naturally
Wool is the world’s most recyclable (and biodegradable) fiber
By comparison, many synthetic textiles can remain in landfill for hundreds of years.
Wool can be re-used and recycled several times, or simply return to the land it came from at the end of its life. At Waverley Mills, we recover all offcuts and fibers to turn them into something beautiful, our Recycled wool collection.
A fiber crafted to become an heirloom – Wool, refined
Waverley Mills’ Australian merino wool blankets, throws and wearables are crafted to last for decades and generations, to become a true family heirloom.
We’re very proud of what we produce, and we want the world to experience the finest wool and craftsmanship. Discover our collections today and bring a piece of Tasmania into your home.
