Wool and woolen blankets an iconic part of our nation’s story.
Wool and woolen blankets are interwoven with our nation's heritage, a tapestry of wool spanning over hundreds of years. From the introduction of the wool blanket trade, the integration of wool in our traditional Māori weaving, to wool blankets being worn as common attire throughout our NZ settler and land wars period.
As a fledgling nation, homesteads were established upon sheep stations and sheep farming became common enterprise throughout Aotearoa. A booming wool industry ensured our soldiers were wrapped in the warmth of NZ wool and the wool blanket became a staple in our homes. NZ wool quickly became a world renown prized fibre.
Our luxury wool blankets are made from 100% pure NZ lambs wool and produced entirely here in Aotearoa, from our farms to the loom.
Intentionally drawing on Māori design, each Noa blanket shares our unique stories, weaving the threads of our identity, our culture and values into our lives and homes.
Noa blankets give deeper meaning to the ceremony of storytelling and gift giving, weaving our stories to be shared, gifted and treasured, to remind us every day of who we are and where we come from.
Consciously crafted in wool, a natural fibre, as a keepsake that will endure into the future, perpetuating our culture of care across generations, finally returning back to the soil from which it originated at the end of its lifetime.
Noa is more than just a blanket that can give warmth, calm a restless body and reduce anxiety, but a work of art - a taonga, a collaboration of culture and colour, a woven representation of our nation's strength and resilience.
