WHAT’S SO SPECIAL WOOL?

Wool boasts some amazing properties. It is soft yet durable, fire resistant, temperature regulating, moisture wicking and odour resistant.


A BIT ABOUT MICRONS

When buying wool, you might see a micron count. Microns are the measurement (1 millionth of a metre) used to describe the diameter of a wool fibre. The smaller the micron count, the finer the wool fibre will be. Wool typically falls in a range of 18–40 microns. Our Picnic Rugs are made with robust 29 micron Merino wool, making them incredibly durable for use both indoors and outdoors.

Due to the nature of our products there may be some slight variation in sizing. 

Our picnic, travel, 29-micron wool blankets and recycle range products are designed to withstand a bit of rough and tumble however, we still recommend laundering your product with care. 

Airing outside or in a steamy bathroom is the easiest way of refreshing your product. 

For any spills or mishaps, we recommend spot cleaning. You can find more details here.

You may choose to dry clean and if so, we recommend discussing the care instructions with your chosen drycleaner before leaving your product.

We do not recommend machine washing your product, even if your machine has a delicate or hand wash cycle.

Happy 21st

I love your Australian blankets and rugs made from Australian yarn. The colours of this rug are beautiful. It is a 21st birthday gift so for now I cannot say anything more other than I hope the recipient enjoys it for many years ahead. ❤️

Picnic blanket review

Recently I ordered a pure wool picnic blanket from Waverley Mills in Tasmania.
Their online store was easy to navigate and the description of the garment was sufficient to make an informed decision to buy. Once ordered shipping was immediate and arrived as per schedule. Pure wool is very cosy a point my wife did not miss and must be understood when buying a quality garment. So support Australian manufacturing into the future and we will continue to have premium products onshore which are better than the imports.

FAQ

How soft is your wool?

Wool is measured with microns, typically ranging from 18-40, where the smaller the number, the finer the wool. We use a robust but soft 29-micron wool for our blankets and travel throws, to ensure they have a long life keeping you warm.

Will wool pill?

Pilling is a natural part of the lifecycle of wool. Abrasion and friction are the most likely causes of pilling, but may be unavoidable over the life cycle of your natural fibre product.

The good news is that pilling is easily remedied. Simply remove the pills carefully, by hand or with a comb, for a good as new appearance.

Where are your products made?

We make everything right here at our mill in Launceston, Tasmania. From weaving, right through to cutting and finishing, our products don’t leave the mill until they’re on their way to you.
