Cloth woven on heritage
looms
Our woven cloth is produced on 1864 Lancashire, 1894 Yorkshire and 1978 Saurer looms.
It is available on the roll in 25cm increments and also in pre-cut fat quarters.
Widths vary and it is mixed fibres. Due to the special nature of weaving on historic machinery there are imperfections that add to its character.
String made on original Masson Mills machinery
Our string is produced on doubling machines that were in use at Masson Mills up to its closure as a commercial mill in 1991.
100% Cotton.
