Welcome to Trefriw Woollen Mills
Welsh tapestry bedspreads and tweeds woven in Snowdonia
Welsh "tapestry" bedspreads have been woven at Trefriw Woollen Mills for over 100 years. The choice of colourings is both classic and contemporary and the timeless geometric pattern compliments both modern and traditional homes. The designs are very clear because two cloths are woven on top of each other and the figuring is created when the bottom cloth is brought to the surface of the fabric.
This double weave is also produced in patterns with smaller repeats which are used for throws, cushions, waistcoats, dinner sets and purses.

The yarn for the tweed is made by blending, carding and spinning various colours of dyed raw wool to get a heathery effect. Heritage tweed products in houndstooth and herringbone designs include hats, caps, scarves, capes and skirt lengths 
The shop specialises in pure wool knitwear and accessories. Wool, the original sustainable fibre is a niche product prized by those who value its qualities.

Optical blending (i.e. the effect created when the eye takes in a number of colours and mixes them) is also exploited in the Joseph rugs which have a multi-coloured warp and three different coloured wefts which mingle together for soft rich shades. 
The dobcross looms on which the heritage fabric is woven and the hydro electric turbines (over 50 years old) can be viewed.
