Textile and Garment Industries Collection

Collected by: Cornell University Library

Archived since: Jun, 2019

Description:

In 2017 the collections of the former American Textile History Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts were acquired by the Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation Archives. The Textile and Garment Industries Collections is part of an effort to preserve the history of those industries in the United States by acting as a repository for the websites of the existing textile and garment production in the United States.

Title: Bedfellows Blankets Peggy Hart

URL: http://blanketweave.com/

Description: "The woolen mills of New England are gone, but inside a barn in rural Massachusetts there lurks a complete 1940's weave shop. Old industrial looms live their second life weaving cotton and wool blankets. Each loom is a ton and a half of greasy gears, wheels, and pulleys; mechanical innovation that made complex patterns possible. The patterns I weave are all original designs, but reflect inspiration from textile traditions around the world. Limited edition cotton throws and wool throws are available for purchase. Custom weaving is also available using a customer's own wool or commercial yarns. The minimum length for custom work is 40 yards." -- from the website, 2019.11.01

Title: Morro Fleece Works

URL: http://morrofleeceworks.com/

Description: "I am a fiber processor located on the central coast of California, about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. I do washing (scouring), picking, carding to batts or roving, pin drafting and felt rugs or felt fabrics. I do not spin to yarn. My pin drafted roving comes in a beautiful coil similar to a beehive or a nautical rope coil. It can be pulled for spinning or weaving directly from the box or bag without tangling or breakage. If you are processing your fiber to sell, this coil will make a very nice presentation.
