Riot | Geelong Weaving Mill

Your Geelong Weaving Mill blanket has been created by the clever, talented and passionate team at Geelong Textiles using leftover yarn from their commercial projects that they have rewoven and used to make these fabulous Aussie wool blankets.  

From start to finish your blanket has received high quality workmanship from people who love what they do - from the design, the stitching, weaving, dyeing or even the photographing and sales.  

The weaving mill is situated in the heart of one of Australia’s historic wool and textile regions, housed at the original site of the Geelong Returned Sailors and Soldiers Woollen and Worsted Cooperative Manufacturing Company, established in 1920 and holds a special place in our hearts as Jade and May is lucky enough to call part of this building home.  

So grab yourself a beautiful blanket, support local manufacturing and help to  sustain historic traditions in fibre craft and weaving.

Care Instructions for Woollen Blankets

If your woollen blanket needs a refresh then please hang it on the line in the sun to air.  If your blanket needs more of a clean then it is suggested to hand wash/ spot clean the area needing a wash or by using the gentle/wool cycle on your washing machine with a mild/wool detergent.

Dry flat if possible.

Do not wring, tumble dry or bleach.
