Design Tasmania will exhibit Waverley 150+ from 23 March. The exhibition celebrates 150 years of Waverley Mills, Tasmania’s first commercial woollen factory, known in the Launceston community and beyond for its high-quality woven pieces.
Waverley Mills is the last remaining factory of its type in Australia. But over its long history, servicing the Australian Army, Qantas and other prominent businesses and organisations meant that it was once responsible for 80% of the Australian blanket market.
