Wool blankets made from the Faculty of Agriculture sheep flock have long been a cherished item on campus, admired by faculty, staff, students, and alumni alike.
Over the past 20 years, these cozy and beautifully crafted blankets have become a symbol of community and pride, extending their appeal across the university and beyond. Most recently, their reputation reached a heartwarming milestone when one of these wool blankets appeared on the wedding registry of a Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences alum, highlighting the affection for this campus treasure and the special connection it fosters within the Dalhousie community.
For years, these blankets were sold primarily through word-of-mouth and could only be picked up on the Truro campus. However, their growing popularity and demand has paved the way for an exciting new chapter.
The blankets are now officially available as part of the Barley Boutique, an online shopping platform through Dalhousie, with domestic shipping now offered. It has never been easier to bring home a piece of campus heritage.
The blankets, measuring 48 x 60 inches, are handcrafted by MacAuslands Woolen Mill in Prince Edward Island, ensuring their quality and authenticity.
