ICICLE and Woolmark join forces to present the traceable Superfine Merino Wool Collection and DEW Collection. Dedicated to traceability, each garment features a QR code to help customers verify the authenticity and origins of the wool within each garment.
Crafted from wool sourced from Australian woolgrowing properties – including Mulgowan in south-east Queensland and Old Ripponhurst from the Warrabkook region of Victoria – the collections embody a commitment to responsible wool sourcing, with full transparency and traceability. Every step of the process is documented, preserving a record of the craftsmanship journey.

Situated in the Traprock region of south-east Queensland, Australia, Mulgowan covers an area of 3,800 hectares of native pastures roamed by 2,500 Merino sheep. The fineness of Mulgowan’s Merino wool ranges from 13 to 16 microns, resulting in fine wool fibres that are comfortable to wear and soft to the touch.
The history of Mulgowan dates to 1898 when it was purchased by Harry Avery Smith, a grandparent of Mulgowan’s current resident woolgrower, Clive Smith. Clive and his wife Margaret bought Mulgowan from Clive’s father in 1992, leaving city life behind to move there with their two children.
A true multi-generational endeavour, woolgrowing at Mulgowan is devoted to caring for the sheep in their pasture and living in symbiosis with the natural world. Mulgowan’s Merino wool is sold under quality assurance systems including Sustainawool, Authentico, ASWGA, Ausfine and Traprock quality initiatives.
