Ackroyd and Dawson Limited cloth can be found carrying the Ackroyd and Dawson wool mark that guarantees the cloth to be genuine 100% British wool and British alpaca and processed and woven only in the British Isles. Our quality cloth comes from rare and traditional breeds of sheep and alpaca that have been carefully nurtured over many years, developing a fleece that will produce a staple and crimp that produces some of the best wool in the world.
Exclusive and stock portfolio runs of Ackroyd and Dawson’s finished cloth is available to the garment industry, fashion houses, and bespoke tailors. The company will eventually be introducing branded luxury garments, bedding, and soft furnishings, and is planning to supply the ‘green’ industry with 100% British wool for insulation, medical bandaging supplies, protection industry equipment, and thermal wear.
We intend to support and encourage apprenticeships, thereby raising skills within the industries and farming so that their businesses can grow. As business increases people will prosper. Businesses, fashion and interior designers, and tailors want British wool but cannot obtain it – not until now. Ackroyd and Dawson offers a niche product due to a limited supply of luxury cloth in addition to a bespoke service that promotes an exclusivity and desirability in the market place.
The Ackroyd and Dawson families have been part of the wool industry since the beginning of the 19th century, and more than likely before that. Ackroyd and Dawson are names that are synonymous with the wool industry from the time when Britain was the wool capital of the world. William Ackroyd’s Yorkshire mill was founded in 1810, and various members of the Ackroyd family line operated mills right through both world wars. Joseph Dawson was famously instrumental in the mechanical processing of cashmere wool in the second half of the 1800’s.
Over the span of our lives we have watched the industry diminish to a shadow of its former glory and be overtaken by inferior products in the guise of luxury without durability or value for money; British tweed, woollen and worsted cloth can offer both durability and value in addition to luxury. Ackroyd and Dawson is part of the British Wool Revival to re-invigorate the industry, the farms, the fields, the jobs, the skills, and the heart and hearth of Britain.
