About our location:
Forty mills once clustered around Dre-fach Felindre, 'the Huddersfield of Wales'.The Museum tells the story of this community, dependent for its livelihood on spinning and weaving. Forgotten skills, old ways of life, and newly-woven traditional fabrics can all be seen and marvelled at. The museum houses working historical exhibits and offers visitors regular demonstrations of the hand-carding, spinning, weaving and dyeing processes that turn fleece into fabric. Nineteenth-century carding and spinning machinery is operated to produce yarns that are then woven on hand and power looms to make reproduction fabrics. Visitors can also follow factory trails around Dre-fach Felindre to discover how the industry developed and how vital it was to the community.
