Julian Wilcox interviews Noa Blankets: Aotearoa's long history with wool and blankets

For the past 200 years blankets have formed part of Aotearoa's history, part of our early trade, providing warmth and comfort during the New Zealand Wars and for our soldiers fighting overseas during two world wars.

For Whakaawa and Josh Te Kani of Noa Blanket Co, the history of wool in this country is integral to the stories they weave into their blankets and their work will feature in a new exhibition, Paraikete Threads, which opened yesterday at the Pataka Art Museum in Porirua.
