WELCOME TO OUR WORLD

Masters of British-Made Cloth

Originally founded in 1837, our almost two centuries of textile manufacturing expertise has made us a master of our craft. We are proud to be one of a select few mills that remain in the UK with a fully vertical status, meaning we are able to carry out all processes from a single site. From the moment raw wool enters our warehouse, to the time the finished cloth is dispatched to the end customer, everything is managed by our in-house teams of experts.

Our Heritage

Founded in 1837, our story is a celebration for the British Textile industry. From the humble beginnings of a tenacious clothier in a fledgling Leeds Textile market, to the international renown we hold today – supplying some of the biggest fashion houses and interior designers worldwide.

Our Mill

Our woollen mill is a fully functional vertical mill, based in the idyllic landscape of Yorkshire. The term ‘vertical mill’ was coined during the Victorian era, and related to the structure of the building, which was optimised to ensure efficient movement of material through the manufacturing process.

Sustainability

As a prominent figure within the textile industry’s global community, we are passionate about the importance of preservation for generations to come through our actions within our craft and beyond.

Benefits of Wool

We are huge advocates for the use of wool in textiles – it is a highly eco-friendly fibre that is grown annually on sheep, and boasts an impressive number of inherent properties that make it a fantastic choice for fabric construction.
