 For
over seventy years, MacAuslands have been producing quality woolen blankets
and yarns, made of 100% virgin wool yarn. Because of the high quality of
the wool, the blankets are lighter than most wool blankets, but last a
lifetime.
There are four sizes of blankets available, and three types of wool yarn
in almost thirty different colors. You can bring in your own wool for
custom spinning or weaving, or pick from our selection of woolen blankets
at the office in our mill.

order to you (shipping costs are extra).
