In 1859 Thomas Williams bought the mill which is still owned and run by his descendants and manufactures traditional fabrics in contemporary colours for soft furnishing, garments and accessories.
The mill generates its own electricity and carries out all the processes from fleece to fabric on machines which are over 50 years old. As this is a working mill museum the machines run according to production needs.
Hand spinning demontrations, a display of solar dyeing using natural dyes and the Weaver's Garden with fibre and dye plants can be viewed (see opening hours).
Our pure wool products include Welsh "tapestry" bedspreads, travel rugs, knitting wool, tweed, soft furnishings and accessories and are exclusive to our shop and website . 2012 sees the introduction of our new styles in tweed and tapestry ladieswear. We also stock pure wool knitwear and sheepskin goods. Hot and cold drinks, cakes and scones are served in the tearoom.
Situated on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, Trefriw is surrounded by beautiful scenery. The lovely lakes Crafnant and Geirionydd which supply the water for our hydro-electric system are in the foothills above the village and can be visited on foot or by car. A number of waymarked walks (www.trefriwtrails.org.uk)
start in the car park opposite the mill.
