From Paddock to Loom: The Story Behind Our New Zealand Wool Blankets

At George Street Linen, every piece tells a story. Our latest wool blankets take root in New Zealand’s lush paddocks before arriving at a traditional, family-run mill in Wales. It’s a journey that speaks to thoughtful craftsmanship, grounded in quality, sustainability, and timeless style.

It starts with New Zealand wool

Our blankets begin their life on the rolling green fields of New Zealand, where sheep roam freely and grow their fleece naturally each year. Wool is a renewable and sustainable material by nature, and we love that it supports local farming communities while helping to protect our planet.

New Zealand wool is renowned worldwide for its softness, durability, and comfort. It naturally helps you stay cosy during colder months and cool when temperatures rise. Wool's breathable properties handle moisture wonderfully, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep all year round. Plus, wool's natural resilience keeps our blankets feeling and looking great for years to come.

Crafted with care at a traditional mill

After its journey from New Zealand, our wool is expertly woven in Wales. Established in 1971, the mill is a family-run operation that continues to weave using methods perfected over generations. Their skilled weavers bring decades of knowledge and careful craftsmanship to each blanket they create.

Their talented designers thoughtfully select classic, stylish patterns such as timeless tartans, elegant twills and sophisticated fishbone weaves. Each pattern blends tradition with modern style, reflecting our commitment to quality, comfort and enduring elegance.

Committed to sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at George Street Linen. We source our wool responsibly, prioritising animal welfare and environmental best practices. At the mill, sustainable production means minimising waste, recycling materials, and continually reducing our environmental impact. Wool itself is fully biodegradable and free of synthetic fibres, making our blankets an environmentally friendly choice.

When you wrap yourself in a George Street Linen wool blanket, you're not only choosing warmth and style but also supporting a product made with genuine care, respect for our environment, and a passion for timeless craftsmanship.
