"Hello!
I just want to say how amazing the Lightweight Wool Duvet from Frankenmuth Woolen Mill is! I bought it 2.5 years ago, and it’s still in great shape. It carried me through the hot Atlanta summers and the freezing Chicago winters—even when I turned off the heat and AC.
I was initially worried it would be uncomfortable during Atlanta’s heat, like my other duvets from Target, but this one actually performed really well. It’s the perfect comforter: not too hot in the summer, and cozy and warm in the winter.
It was really important for me to get a high-quality comforter made in a place that treats animals humanely. That’s why I was initially drawn to Frankenmuth Woolen Mill, even though I lived in Atlanta at the time.
After about 2 years, a big hole appeared in the cotton cover, exposing the wool inside. When my girlfriend visited and saw it, she said she couldn’t sleep well after two weeks of looking at the hole, and asked me to replace it. A week later, she asked if I could sew it into an old wool blanket instead—because it was just so much better in terms of coziness and temperature control. I did, and now we both enjoy this incredible blanket!
This duvet was absolutely worth it. It handled 1.5 years in Atlanta heat and over a year in Chicago's record-breaking cold. Highly recommended!"

"I bought a wool standard size pillow. It's in very nice plastic zipper bag. I asked for it to be placed in another bag. Thank goodness you had that size. I'm glad I did, because after we had our dinner it was pouring rain! The staff was very friendly and attentive. Thank you I love you're store and stop by everytime I'm in Frankenmuth."
Sally Materni
"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."
