I love a cozy blanket on a chilly night. So when my sister and brother-in-law told me about Faribault Woolen Mill Co., I absolutely loved what I found. The mill was established in Faribault, MN in 1865 and is the only fully integrated domestic woolen operation still in existence in the USA (WOW!). There is a rich history surrounding the mill. In 1917, during WW1, the company supplied 100,000 blankets to the army and by 1937, nearly every department store carried their blankets. Today, the company continues to make beautiful blankets, throws and accessories and they now have an online store and recently opened a store at the site of the mill which looks beautiful from the pictures on their website!
