The air is beginning to take on that familiar chill, Autumn is just around the corner! We wove 16 new blankets this summer. Everything from cozy wool to lighter than air organic cotton. There is always something new going on.

Be sure to make time to visit us for  the Amana Colonies Oktoberfest celebration Oct. 2-4. Our hours that weekend will be Friday and Saturday 8a.m. to 8p.m. and Sunday 10a.m. to 5p.m. We will have demonstrations on weaving, spinning and embroidery throughout the weekend. Come and join the fun!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who remain our loyal customers. We are so proud to be able to continue to make our blankets right here in Amana. We will continue to add new colors and patterns, so please make sure you check our web page for updates.

Greetings from the Amana Woolen Mill in the historic village of Amana in Eastern Iowa. My name is Lamby and I work at the mill. It's hard being a sheep these days. My wool is so strong and durable ewe don't have to worry about your blankets or garments wearing out for a long time. Here at the mill we make blankets out of my wool as well as cotton for those of ewe who might have an allergy. They make perfect gifts for ewe as well as the Ram in your life. We even have crib size blankets for your little lamb. Well, everybody is heading back to the barn, so I'd better go too. See Ewe next time. Lamby                                 Back
