I often get asked about the history of our blankets so here is our story… Our proud Exquisite wool blanket history starts here in New Zealand and extends to a woollen mill in England, A. W. Hainsworth, that dates back to 1783. In 1893 A. W. Hainsworth started buying NZ wool. This is proudly displayed in a logbook at the Yorkshire mill. Our family wool buying business, Yaldhurst Wools, Christchurch, buys wool from the same farm featured in that logbook, along with other wool sourced from South Island farms. Some of this wool is exported to the mill in England. This specialist, English textile mill has supported the NZ wool industry for all those years, making not only woollen blankets...
I have had great pleasure sending woollen products to the wildlife in need during this devastating time for Australia . I know the wool will bring comfort and support for the wildlife over this very difficult time. Stay strong Australia.

Exquisite Wool Blankets being put to good use for the NZ Flying doctor service. Ideal in this environment as Wool will instantly warm a patient on a cooler flight and unlike synthetic blankets is fireproof, which is a huge safety consideration. Thank you NZ flying doctors for supplying this photo.#nzflyingdoctors #firesaftey #warm #nzwool @exquisite_wool_blankets_
