"The goal has always been to create a place where anyone interested in textiles and making can come and learn. Elvet Woollen Mill ian internationally renowned destination for textiles erience the processes and entire history of mechanised weaving first hand."
The London Cloth Company's journey to West Wales is where most of the machinery Daniel Harris has collected now lives. Their weaving repertoire extends beyond woollens, to include rope-dyed indigo cotton, making them one of the only mills in the UK weaving true rope-dyed indigo fabrics (a real pain in the arse to weave).
Our commitment to quality woven cloth, particularly woollens, is woven on carefully restored shuttle looms dating back to the 1870s. Although our physical location has shifted, the traditional practices remain. The rhythmic dance of threads is a constant in our ever-expanding family of looms. We specialise in weaving fabrics to order, with an online shop featuring varied meterage from our stock.
What makes The London Cloth Company really stand out is Daniel Harris' dedication to keeping things truly sustainable and using local materials. They team up with nearby sheep farmers to get top-notch Welsh wool, making sure there's a smooth link between the land, the sheep, and the final woven piece. This focus on traceability not only boosts the quality of their products but also shows a genuine respect for the environment and the farming communities.
