THE UK'S 1ST SOIL ASSOCIATION CERTIFIED WEAVING MILL

We are a family-owned and operated weaving mill in Lancashire, the heart of UK textile manufacture and a place we are proud to be located. Our mill is lovingly driven by a passionate team and has been operating in Burnley since 1871, nearly 150 years!

That’s not to say we are stuck in the past, our continued investment in technology and our people means we are able to work on technical fabrics alongside fine fashion fabrics all under the watchful eye of a team of dedicated and highly skilled weavers and textile designers.
