Waverley Mills — Australia's last fully vertical woollen mill, Launceston Tasmania

Waverley Mills, Launceston, Tasmania · Est. 1874

Upstream Provenance · Featured Maker

Woven at Waverley Mills.
Australia's last thread.

In 1874, a Scottish migrant named Peter Bulman believed Tasmania could do more than grow wool — it could craft it into something extraordinary. One hundred and fifty years later, Waverley Mills continues to spin, weave, and finish every textile on the same Launceston site, on the banks of Distillery Creek. They are the last fully vertical woollen mill in Australia.

The fabrics carried by PennyJane in the Southern Cross Marketplace trace their upstream provenance to mills and stations like Waverley — where fibre, land, and skill converge in a single, traceable chain. This is what provenance certification makes visible.

Mill: Waverley Mills, Launceston, Tasmania
Established: 1874 — 150 years of continuous operation
Process: Fully vertical — spin, weave, finish onsite
Fibre: Australian merino wool, recycled wool, alpaca
Status: Last mill of its kind in Australia
