Our History
“Since 1894, Frankenmuth Woolen Mill has been part of America’s story — crafting natural wool bedding through world events, cultural shifts, and generations of care. Here’s how our journey weaves into history.”
A Legacy Carried Forward
What began as a barter system between farmers and millers has become a modern commitment to conscious living. Just as wool once helped Michigan families survive harsh winters, it now helps families everywhere sleep better, live more sustainably, and reconnect with a tradition that never goes out of style.
The Frankenmuth Woolen Mill story is one of continuity—rooted in 1894, thriving in 2025, and always looking toward a future shaped by the same values that began it all.
