WOVEN IN TASMANIA SINCE 1874, FOR SCHOOLS BUILT TO ENDURE
Made to last a school life, and longer
Since 1874, Waverley Mills has been spinning and weaving premium woollen textiles from our historic mill in Launceston, Tasmania. We're Australia's oldest working textile mill and we understand institutions built to endure. Every fibre is sourced, spun and woven locally, giving you unmatched quality, full traceability, and a product your school community will be proud to carry.
Made for Schools
From boarding campuses to fundraising events, our range is designed to serve every part of school life.
Boarding Life
Blankets and camp blankets in pure Australian Merino. Warm, hard-wearing, and made for the realities of boarding. Made to go home again at the end of it, a compulsory item that becomes a lifelong keepsake.
Uniform Scarves
Woven to your school colours and your specification. A uniform piece in natural hard wearing fibre, 100% made in Australia, that reflects what your school stands for.
Fundraising & Commemorative Pieces
Throws and scarves for P&F fundraising, milestone anniversaries and Old Scholars' reunions. Product your community genuinely wants to keep, so it raises more than funds.
School Gifting
For retiring staff, honoured guests and long-serving members of your community. A considered gift that carries your school's identity and lasts.
Our Difference
100% Australian-Made
From fibre to finished product, everything is made at our Tasmanian mill. No offshoring, no shortcuts, just honest, traceable quality worthy of your school's name and crest.
Natural Fibres, Not Synthetics
Australian merino is soft against the skin, warm without bulk, and naturally breathable. It regulates temperature, resists odour, and wears beautifully. Everything a synthetic version isn't.
Fully Traceable Supply Chain
We know where every fibre comes from. For schools with sustainability commitments, and students who hold them to it, that traceability is a genuine point of difference.
Circular Economy & Textile Recycling
Through our textile recycling initiative, we turn a school's retired jumpers into new product. A visible, credible sustainability story your community can see and share.
Come and See It Made
We welcome schools, with students aged over 12, to visit the mill and watch their product being woven. It's a rare thing to see Australian manufacturing up close, and a story students can carry with them.
