GOR Woollen Mill is a family-run gem, passionate about sustainability and responsibility. This boutique, working spinning mill creates beautiful yarns and knitwear accessories using 100% Australian wool in a 100% off-grid operation.
As a 100% off-grid operation, they harness renewable energy and rainwater, minimizing their environmental impact. They are committed to animal welfare, using RWS certified non-mulesed wool.
Their dedication to local is impressive, sourcing wool in Victoria, scouring it in Geelong, and spinning it at the mill. This commitment to quality and sustainable practices shines through in every skein and stitch.
Located near Ballarat, only 20 minutes from the centre on the Western Highway, GOR Woollen Mill offers an Alpaca Tour and Mill Experience, unveiling the farm-to-yarn journey. Witness the transformation of raw fleece into finished yarn and get up-close with alpacas.
Tours run every Friday at 10:00am and 1:00pm, and on the first Saturday of the month. Book your tour via the website.
