One of the longest-running American textile manufacturers, Faribault Mill, has announced permanent price reductions of up to $100 on select blankets. The move comes as inflation continues to pressure household budgets, with the company aiming to make high-quality, American-made products more accessible.
Lower Prices, Same American Craftsmanship
Faribault Mill has reduced the prices of many of its cotton and wool blankets. Cotton blankets, previously priced between $245 and $345, are now $100 less per unit. Similar reductions apply to wool blankets within the same range. Despite the lower prices, the company emphasizes that the quality and materials remain unchanged.
Founded in 1865, Faribault Mill is one of the last fully integrated woolen mills in the United States operating today. The company processes wool from raw fiber to finished blankets at its historic Minnesota facility, preserving traditional manufacturing techniques. It has supplied blankets to the U.S. military for generations and continues to produce durable wool and cotton products domestically.
“Our customers deserve access to well-made, American-manufactured goods, especially as household budgets are stretched thin,” said a Faribault Mill spokesperson in a statement. “By making our products more affordable, we’re reinforcing our commitment to U.S. manufacturing and the workers behind it.”
Keeping American Manufacturing Competitive
The decision to lower prices highlights the ongoing challenge for U.S. manufacturers competing with low-cost, foreign-made imports that have flooded the market. Many textile companies have shifted production overseas to cut costs, but Faribault Mill continues to manufacture domestically, employing American workers and sourcing U.S.-grown cotton and wool whenever possible.
American companies that maintain domestic production often face higher labor and material costs than overseas competitors. By adjusting pricing without compromising quality, Faribault Mill is demonstrating how businesses can compete while upholding ethical labor standards and product integrity.
The company also offers public tours of its facility, giving consumers an inside look at how its wool blankets are produced. This transparent approach has helped build trust among buyers who prioritize American-made goods.
As inflation remains a concern, price reductions like this could encourage more consumers to invest in U.S.-made products rather than turning to cheaper imports that often lack durability. Supporting companies that keep jobs in America strengthens local economies and reduces reliance on global supply chains, which have proven fragile in recent years.
