It is worth the visit when driving around this area to go to the Creswick Woollen Mill. There is a tour of the Mill, a history worth engaging in, Some excellent fabrics and clothes...you wont be able to walk out empty handed, everything is wonderful. and Do make time to hand feed the alpacas..such big eyes. fun!

There is an interesting tour and a wide selection of lovely knitted products available for sale, pleasant helpful staff too. Creswick is a delightful little town

We've been there just recently and went through their mini museum-tour, where you can see how they make the threads and other. You can also have a cuddle with some baby alpacas and of course, buy some clothes, blankets or toys....

Interesting to stop at the Creswick Woollen Mills and purchased some lovely warm socks & gloves. They have an extensive range of blankets, scarfs and clothing.

We did not do the tour but spent a lot of time checking out the very extensive range of garments made from many different fibres. Some of the alpacca, fine merino, possum, etc jumpers are so soft & the colours modern.It is a large, well stocked showroom so if you are stocking up for next winter or looking for presents it is worth a visit.Some of the top quality garments are quite expensive but are unique.

We were to late for the tour but we saw the machines they use to strip , comb the fleece, watched some weaving been done. then went into the shop, things were expensive to buy but well made. They do the blankets for the CFA , and some hotel around we were told. You can see the alpacas and feed them too. Good visit.

Definitely worth a visit if you are travelling through or staying in Creswick. We didn't do the tour but could see part of the factory from the shop. Instead we made use of our time in checking out all the lovely garments, blankets, bin end seconds, etc. As well as buying clothes on sale we also bought a nice second which will make a lovely throw. We bought two beautiful king sized blankets at a reduced price here some years ago and they're still going strong.

Definitely worth a visit if you are driving this way. You are able to buy 'seconds' quite cheaply, and many of the first quality items are also available at a lower cost. Much of the stock is made in Australia (eg the alpaca throws) but there are items that are from overseas so if country of origin is important to you, read the label or ask the staff.

Do yourself a favour and pop on by the woollen mill. The tour is quite interesting and the quality of the Creswick products are second to none. On top of this we got to feed the alpacas. A very pleasant visit indeed.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write a Trip Advisor review. We appreciate your feedback & always pass this on to managers & staff so we can continue to improve on customer experiences. From speaking to the Retail Manager I understand that your visit unfortunately occurred on a day of a power outage so some parts of the tour, like meeting the alpacas, were not available. No doubt this effected your tour. Also of the $15 charge $10 is redeemable in the store. We definitely do have items discounted up to 70% off department store prices as you are buying direct from the factory for many items. I am sorry your experience was not satisfactory & we hope when you are in the area again you would consider visiting or come to one of our stores.

As a grey nomad & tech geek I did the mill tour to relish the weaving machinery & technology rather than the finished products. I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that my tour price would be deducted from my subsequent purchases so shoppers, be sure to do the tour first. Before leaving, after my second, equally enjoyable, visit I joined their loyalty program and now enjoy discount offers and the opportunity to shop online. Fascinating tour, runs frequently. Great staff, cuddly products. Little visitors relished the Alpaca interaction. Lots of great woollen garments on sale.

Extensive range of alpaca, possum & wool products, including some factory bargains. Good service. Didn't do the tour as ran of time, but looks good so next time.. Highly recommend.

We loved the visit with the self guide tour and morning tea it was an extremely interesting story to founder of the Mill. We spent over an hour in the shop and bought some bargains ready for winter

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Creswick Woollen Mills. We got to feed the Alpacas out in the yard which was a great hoot! The range of products on sale was extensive and reasonably priced. My only criticism was there weren't any Alpaca jumpers in my size available (although I eventually found my Alpaca jumper in their Beechworth shop a few days later) . We bought an Alpaca doona, blanket and several pairs of socks. The staff on hand were helpful and friendly.
