Just five minutes from the heart of Launceston, Waverley Mills is Australia's oldest working woollen mill and the last of its kind still spinning, weaving and finishing onsite. Founded in 1874 on the banks of Distillery Creek, the mill continues to craft premium Tasmanian-made blankets, throws and scarves using traditional techniques and sustainable practices.
