About UsWe've Been Working With Wool Since 1894.
For more than 130 years, the Frankenmuth Woolen Mill has been working with wool right here in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Along the way, we’ve learned just how much this natural fiber can be.
The Woolen Works grew from a simple idea: wool is too remarkable to waste.
So we began finding new ways to use it. Today, wool from our historic mill becomes useful goods for everyday life—from shoe inserts and kitchen sponges to dryer balls, craft supplies, pet goods and more.
Some are practical. Some are unexpected. All of them begin with one remarkable natural fiber—and generations of experience working with it.

Our ProcessWool’s Journey, From Flock to Finish
Responsible Sourcing
We begin by choosing only the finest, ethically sourced wool from trusted farms. Each fiber is carefully selected for its purity, softness, and natural strength. This ensures that the foundation of every product is both sustainable and of the highest quality.
Washing with Care
The raw wool is gently washed in 180-degree water, fresh from Lake Huron using only biodegradable soap. This preserves the purity of the fiber while protecting the environment. This ensures that the foundation is both sustainable and of the highest quality.
Naturally Air-Dried
Instead of harsh dryers, the wool is laid out to air dry for 7–10 days. This gentle method preserves the strength and resilience of every fiber.
Processed on Antique Machinery
We use antique carding machines, some over 150 years old, to separate and align the fibers. No chemicals are used — only steam and humidity — keeping the wool’s natural integrity intact.
Creating Something Useful
In the final stage, our makers transform the wool into useful goods for everyday life. Depending on the product, the wool may be needle felted, cut, sewn, layered or shaped—becoming everything from shoe inserts and kitchen goods to craft supplies, pet products and more.

What an excellent wool store! They carry a little bit of everything. The sheets look very comfortable and feel very soft. We heard a lady coming back for more; she said they were her favorite. The prices are what you would expect for authentic wool items. They also have a shop in the back that cleans and blends the wool for processing. They accept cash or credit cards, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

This is a very nice little shop. They have lots of materials, colored wool, buttons, etc. There are cute stuffed animals, comfy bedding, and nice bags and decorations. They have items like unique pin cushions. If you love to sew or are crafty, you will probably like this shop.

I walked in here not knowing what to expect but walked out absolutely amazed and glad i went in! They have such great quality blankets, cloths and little decorative stuff. But what i thought was so cool, was they have an old wool mill display to look at! So cool! 😮 …

As an avid needle-felter, I absolutely love this place! I was able to find some very cool and unique colors of loose wool that I couldn’t find back at home!
