Description |
At Trefriw Woollen Mills we design and weave tweeds and bedspreads carrying out the processes from fleece to fabric. We also generate our own electricity.
Visitors can view the weaving and hydro-electric turbines.
Other machinery for
processing wool can be seen during the summer and handspinning is
demonstrated. Plants which supply natural dyes and fibres can be seen in the
Weaver's Garden. They are labelled with their botanical names and uses.
