Merino wool from Kangaroo Island island is highly sought after due to its exceptional softness, warmth, and breathability and is widely recognised as being finer and superior than the average Australian merino wool clip.
These attributes make it an ideal material for bedding products and will also provide us with provenance of the wool with every bale of merino wool bought by us being certified as to its authenticity back to the growers farm on the island.
The wool supply and licence agreements benefits both Kelly & Windsor Australia and the Kangaroo Island Wool growers. It will also support the island's wool industry and community after the recent devastating bush fires on the island in 2019-20. It also guarantees us a consistent supply of high-quality merino wool for the production of our premium bedding products.
With the product development and testing programs successfully completed in mid 2023, Kelly & Windsor have finished the design of their new wool quilt ranges and have released their three new merino quilt ranges.

The launch of these exclusive merino wool quilt collections, 1836 Merino, Estate Merino and EveryHome was announced at the recent Heimtextil, the prestigious home textile fair in Germany in January 2024 to selected international buyers and is now being rolled out to Australian and international retailers.
