Bringing the natural world into your home. This is our passion here at Creswick Wool, and one key way we make that happen is through our premium collection of natural fibre blankets.
Creswick blankets offer more than just warmth; they help you to build a unique sanctuary that is truly yours, a retreat of comfort and well-being.
If there is one thing we’re known for, it’s our longstanding commitment to quality and natural fibres. And our customers have spoken - here are your top 5 favourite Creswick blankets.
1. The Unparalleled Luxury of Alpaca
Wrap yourself up in the next-level softness and lightweight warmth of our luxurious Alpaca blankets. With the incredibly fine fibres that make up each of our blankets, they offer a gentle drape and feel sumptuously smooth to the touch. Alpaca wool is naturally hypoallergenic and remarkably durable, which makes our blankets a worthy investment in comfort and quality.
If you’re looking for maximum warmth and softness, we suggest choosing the Premium Australian Alpaca wool blankets. It’s masterfully crafted from 80% Australian Alpaca wool and 20% lambswool fibre, and comes in a variety of colours and designs. Envelop yourself in unfettered extravagance and experience the Creswick difference.
2. The Classic Comfort of Merino Wool
Creswick’s deluxe collection of Merino wool blankets is an enduring, timeless favourite among our customers. They’re highly prized for their supreme softness and cosy texture. Our Merino wool blankets boast natural breathability and temperature-regulating properties, so they can keep you warm in winter and cool throughout the summer months. Needless to say, they’re an ideal choice for year-round comfort.
To enjoy ultimate luxury every day, we heartily recommend the Creswick Essential Merino range of blankets. Crafted from 23-micron Australian Merino wool, the fabric gets milled overseas exclusively for Creswick before it comes back to our mill for cutting and finishing.
The end result? A luxurious blanket of the highest quality.
3. Sustainable Style with Recycled Fibres
Along with comfort, style and 5-star customer service, sustainability is another important value to Creswick, one that we showcase in our gorgeous recycled blankets. Crafted from a variety of reclaimed natural fibres, these beautiful blankets are a great way to embrace sustainable, conscious living. You’ll enjoy the win-win situation of experiencing the warmth and comfort you’ve come to expect from a blanket that carries the Creswick name while making a positive environmental choice at the same time.
Among our recycled blankets, the most popular choice with our customers is the Billabong Fringed Throw. It’s a truly timeless piece that bears a generations-long association with Creswick Woollen Mills. The company has a rich history that dates back to its establishment in 1947 when Creswick began crafting high-quality wool textiles - the Billabong among them. Customers across Australia love it for its vibrant colours, user-friendly care instructions, and its immense versatility.

4. Gentle Comfort for Baby
It goes without saying, but babies certainly need a little extra care once in a while. Thankfully, Creswick offers a quality selection of blankets specially designed for babies with the right balance of softness and comfort. Therefore, it’s no surprise that they are incredibly popular among our customers, both as household staples bought by new parents and as gifts purchased by their family and friends.
Our baby blankets are made using the finest natural fibres to create a product that is soft, breathable and promotes a chemical-free environment - perfect for delicate, sensitive skin. Designed to help regulate your baby’s temperature, our blankets promote restful sleep and all-day comfort. Just what baby needs (as do its parents!)
Each blanket offers benefits unique to its natural fibre composition. They include:
- Essential Merino – Easy-care and machine washable, perfect for everyday use.
- Fine Merino – Made from 23-micron Australian Merino Wool, offering a softer, premium feel.
- Alpaca – The most luxurious option, with a silky touch, best preserved through dry cleaning.
Whichever option you choose, you (and baby!) will rest easy knowing that every Creswick baby blanket has been designed with lasting comfort and a truly gentle touch in mind. Just like every little one deserves.

5. Essential Safety with Fire Blankets
Whether you’re at home, in the car, or in a region prone to bushfires, safety is a must and a right for us all. When fire strikes, it helps to have a fire blanket handy, and Creswick’s range of fire blankets is designed to maximise your safety with ease.
Made with durable Aramid fibres and premium quality wool, our fire blanket can safeguard you from flames, ember attacks and radiant heat. Approved by the CFA and the RFS, we’ve designed our blankets to comply with and surpass the AS4824 standard for Wildland Firefighting. You’ll enjoy maximum reliability when you need it the most.

Why Aramid?
So why does Creswick use Aramid in our fire blanket? Aramid fibres offer a wealth of benefits and are in a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibres renowned for the following:
- Low flammability and high resistance to heat, with degradation starting at over 500°C
- Excellent fabric integrity at elevated temperatures
- Good resistance to abrasion and organic solvents
- Non-conductive properties
Whether you’re in a bushfire-prone region of Australia or just use a gas stove in the kitchen every day, be prepared for any situation and stay safe. Keep a fire blanket in your home, car, and anywhere fire risks exist.
