Our good friend Max Wastler introduced us to the fine folks at Faribault Woolen Mill Co… and we are thrilled to report that plans are now under way for some Wandawega Special Edition blankets.
Given that we’ve been a hotel since 1925, it’s likely that some of our 45 beds probably had Faribault on them at some point. Many of them still do, the spoils of a decade of searching every flea market, barn sale and estate sale in Wisconsin. In a continued effort to stay true to our rule of everything at camp being vintage, historic camp gear – the classic wool blankets remain an essential element.
So, we are headed to Minnesota.
Stay tuned for the details… in the meantime, a bit of their amazing history.
A few pcs from our current vintage lodge assortment. A mix of Pendleton, Hudson Bay & Faribault. (The Faribaults are clearly being the house favorite)
