Design Service
- BESPOKE
  Our bespoke offering means we can create an entirely new design; one that is completely unique to your vision and based around your specific needs and requirements.
  
  CUSTOMISE
  As well as creating bespoke fabrics, we can also customise existing designs. Every fabric we have ever woven is sampled and detailed within our vast design archive.
  
  RECREATE
  We still take pride in recreating fabrics of historical and sentimental significance. We have worked on several exciting projects, helping to bring historic designs back to life.
Heritage
- OUR HISTORY
  Established in 1903 by Reginald Warner, the Gainsborough Silk Weaving Company is one of Britain’s last remaining jacquard weaving mills.
  
  OUR ARCHIVE
  Gainsborough’s archive of over 7,000 designs spans the full history of our many collections, dating back to 1903, as well as historic designs dating back as far as the 16th Century.
  
  PROJECTS
  We have worked closely with designers, architects, and clients on many exciting projects, from bespoke commissions to historic recreations.
Inside The Mill
- WINDING
  Hanks of dyed yarn are transferred to our weaving shed, where the yarn is wound onto cones and pirns, if it is to be used as a weft yarn, or bobbins for warping.
  
  WARPING
  Once all the threads are ready, they are tied to the warping mill; this revolves, winding the threads around its circumference in a narrow section as many times as the length of cloth demands
  
  WEAVING
  We run three types of looms: traditional dobby, jacquard shuttle and modern rapier.
