Creswick Woollen Mills is the home of luxurious, natural fibre products designed in Australia to suit Australian conditions. Visit the mill shop, see operational machinery ans meet live Alpacas.
Founded in 1947 by Polish migrant, Paul Ryzowy, Creswick Woollen Mills is now the only coloured woollen spinning mill of its type in Australia. Over 50 Australian mills of this type have closed in the face of competition from cheap imports in recent years, but Creswick remains, employing over 30 people directly and a further 80 indirectly across Victoria through its contractors and suppliers.
Located in Creswick, a small township approximately 120km from Melbourne, north-east of Ballarat, Creswick Woollen Mills is the largest private employer in the region. Despite the rationalisation of the textile industry in recent times, the privately owned company remains buoyant, reinvesting for future sustainability.
Some of Creswick Woollen Mills` luxurious products manufactured at the mill include Alpaca throws, blankets and accessories woven into sophisticated modern designs. Other natural fibre products designed by Creswick for optimum comfort include merino, cashmere, cotton and bamboo. Opening Hours Open 7 days. 10:00am 5:00pm
