Things To Do Waverley, Launceston, Tasmania
Agri, Mining and Industry
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.
Mill Store is open Mon–Fri, 10am–4pm
Visit the onsite Mill Store for an ever-changing selection of exclusive mill seconds, samples, before-launch products and craft supplies. Many items are available only at the mill, making it a must-visit for lovers of Tasmanian design, textiles, wool and locally made gifts.
