Long before Maine became famous for its lobster, it was known for all the textile mills located along the rivers and in small towns that crisscross around the state.  Maine Woolens continues the long tradition of textile excellence synonymous with the label "Made in Maine."  Maine Woolens employs local weavers, sewers, and dyers whose combed experience exceeds over 300 years!  

With respect to the environment, Maine Woolens is committed, whenever possible, to using renewable natural fibers from American growers which are then woven and finished in Maine.  This commitment helps support U.S. manufacturing and supports the economy.  Fibers woven by Maine Woolens have been referred to as "Living Green threads" and include natural premium grade sheep's wool (from American sheep), natural cotton, bamboo (a naturally anti-bacterial fiber) and alpaca.  

The Galaxy blanket is a yarn dyed, 100% washable wool, soft and curl-up-comfy mid-weight wool blanket. The snowflake pattern is a re-design of a late nineteenth century blanket found at a local flea market in Scarborough, Maine. The original was made of homespun wool, which made the blanket feel rough to the touch.  The Maine Woolens version uses USA wool that is worsted spun making the yarn much softer. The pattern is reminiscent of stars in the universe or winter snowflakes.  The color is burgundy (as pictured) interwoven with a natural hue.
