Rabbit Goody’s Thistle Hill Weavers has been offering commission weaving services to architects and design firms for more than 30 years. We offer everything from product and design development and prototyping to production weaving. We will source yarns for you or work with your yarns, and then weave custom fabric for your clients and ship it to your workroom.
We will take your project from research to design to installation. We are the last custom weaving mill in America and we believe interior designers and fashion designers should have the opportunity to have truly custom work-including short runs-done in this country.
We provide an opportunity for interior designers to offer their special high-end clientele something that’s produced in America that’s truly custom work. We believe in exclusivity and when we design for interior designers, we don’t use what we create for anyone else. We believe in using a very involved, collaborative process to create woven fabric, one that includes sampling, prototyping, and development
Prospective clients are invited to visit our mill or call us to discuss product development. We offer extensive sampling. custom finishing. exclusivity agreements and very personal, confidential service to all of our commission weaving clients.
If you are an architect or interior designer and would like to receive samples, please contact us and we will send you a complete packet of swatches and information.
To learn more about how we work with designers, and information on our services for fiber producers. please read our Primer for First-Time Fiber Producers.
One of the great pleasures that we have at Thistle Hill Weavers is to work closely with fiber producers and clothing designers Franny Kansteiner of Gum Tree Farm is both! We met Franny here when she came to visit our mill with some samples of her yarn, images of her clothing, and her ideas. Typically we spend several hours with new clients to develop the best possible products from their fiber.
Franny was ready to get into production with her ideas and this is the first of several fabrics from her sheep Gum Tree Farm has been producing quality merino fiber and wool products for several years but having custom woven goods with quality finishes is often hard to come by in the US. There are very few mills willing to work with small fiber producers and we enjoy developing interesting fabrics.
We can’t wait to see Gum Tree Farm’s next projects made from the natural wool that we are working on now.
