Hainsworth is the woollen mill responsible for the look of iconic England all the way back to the scarlet uniforms of the battle of Waterloo. The knowledge and skill learnt over our 241 years is evident in the quality and craftsmanship in every roll of fabric that leaves the mill today, in the lustre, handle, drape and durability of the cloth.
An immensely proud British fabric manufacturer, our roots are firmly in history, and yet our drive to innovate and invest in our people means that our processes have never stood still. As a truly vertical woollen mill, and one of the last remaining in Britain, we are able to process a product from raw fibre to finished cloth entirely from our site in West Yorkshire. This means that we have full control of our production and are also uniquely positioned to minimise our carbon footprint, something that is very important to us.
We describe ourselves as a small company with high visibility, and this is partly due to the number of industries we operate in. From our mill in Yorkshire, we make cloth for fashion, ceremonial garments, interiors, snooker and pool tables, premium aircraft interiors, protectives garments, blankets, musical instruments, industrial belting and much more.
