Weavers

Soane’s woven designs are made in a 300 year old family mill in the English county of Suffolk. Combining traditional weaving techniques and knowledge of old textiles, with the latest loom technology, our weaves maintain the atmosphere and quality of the antique textiles that they replicate. All of the yarns we use in our weaves are either dyed in-house or in specialist UK dye houses. Our favourite element of a fabric’s development is the valuable trialling process where we experiment with colour, design, texture and construction, enabling us to decide upon the desired weight, tone and lustre of the cloth. The intricate weaving process requires the skills of yarn operatives, warpers, weavers, tacklers and inspectors, beginning with the selection of the best yarns for the warp and weft and finishing with an inspection of every inch of the newly woven cloth.
