About the original
Faribault Mill has been spinning and weaving wool in Faribault, Minnesota since 1865, one of the few vertically integrated wool mills remaining in the United States. The mill sources wool from Rambouillet and Merino sheep raised in the Rocky Mountain region and runs it through every step of production on site: scouring, dyeing, spinning, weaving, and finishing. The midweight checkerboard throw measures 47 by 72 inches, woven as a jacquard two-tone block pattern. The FW2021 Supreme version adds a Supreme logo woven into one corner; it released November 4, 2021 at $348.
About Faribault Mill
Faribault Mill is an American woolen mill founded in 1865 by Carl Henry Klemer in Faribault, Minnesota. The horse-powered carding factory began producing cloth, flannel, and wool blankets in 1872 and incorporated as the Faribault Woolen Mill Company in 1905. The mill supplied 100,000 olive drab blankets to the U.S. Army in World War I and produced more than half of all new wool blankets made in the United States by the time it closed in 2009. Cousins Chuck and Paul Mooty reopened the mill in 2011, and it still weaves on its original looms. Supreme has collaborated with Faribault on box-logo wool blankets and a Mike Kelley-printed throw.
