Last night I was doing a bit of wool mill research (as you do on a Friday night) and I found something that stopped me in my tracks! It’s a historical Census for 1910.In it had some extremely specific numbers that made me so excited!
Burnview Station in Herbertville on New Zealand's East Coast, carved with the names of the shearers and wool hands of generations before. Sharing their story of wool.
Some of us like to enjoy a wee date on Valentine’s day. For those who do, have you got a plan? Perhaps a nice sunny picnic in the park… you know where I’m going with this don’t you? LOL SOOOO predictable - with a beautiful wool blanket of course!
Happy New Year! I hope the start of your New Year has begun full of fun and fresh beginnings. We were lucky enough to have a week or so break with a few days away. If you have been watching our Social Media you will have seen some of our blanket photos coming from different parts of Northland. New Zealand really is such a beautiful country!

It may come as a bit of surprise to know this is our busiest time of year as wool blankets are typically associated with winter but the as the full on market season has now kicked off things start to get a little crazy! Between now and February Fresh Retro Love will be at a number of market and festival events.
There are lots of great reasons why keeping a blanket in your car is super useful or even essential. Here is our top fifteen reasons to keep a wool blanket in your vehicle.
It has been a week since our initial announcement and there are quite a few pieces of this blanket jigsaw to put together... at this point I'm not even sure if some of the pieces haven't slipped down the sofa! If you are not sure what announcement (or puzzle making?) I'm referring to, last Thursday we released the news that Fresh Retro Love are making our very first NEW retro blanket right here in New Zealand. And boy is it FRESH! ....
