Melin Tregwynt - Traditional Welsh Weaving

Woven in Wales: A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Nestled along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, just minutes from the sea, Melin Tregwynt is a testament to the rich tradition of Welsh weaving. With a history dating back to the 18th century and continuous operation since 1841, this iconic mill has been a cornerstone of British manufacturing for generations. Today, it employs over 40 skilled craftspeople and remains committed to preserving the traditional skills that make its fabrics unique.

Our Story: A Family Tradition
The Griffiths family has been at the heart of Melin Tregwynt since 1912, when Henry Griffiths purchased the mill for £760. Over the years, the family has passed down their passion for weaving and dedication to quality. In 2022, the mill transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust, ensuring that the dedicated team's skills and knowledge continue to thrive. This innovative move keeps Melin Tregwynt’s legacy alive while empowering the craftspeople who contribute to its success.

Sustainability and Craftsmanship
Melin Tregwynt is renowned for its commitment to sustainability and ethical production. Their iconic double cloth designs blend traditional weaving techniques with a mid-century modern aesthetic. Using the finest British wool and maintaining environmentally conscious practices, the mill produces a wide range of products, including:

  • Throws and Blankets: Durable and luxurious, with bold graphic patterns.

  • Cushions and Fabrics: Perfect for home interiors with timeless appeal.

From start to finish, every step of production—designing, warping, weaving, cutting, and sewing—takes place at the mill. Quality control ensures each product is a masterpiece, ready to be treasured for years.

Owner of Know & Love, Karen, has visited the Melin Tregwynt Mill many times over the years, first as a visitor with her family whilst on holidays and subsequently for her interior design and styling work.
