Hainsworth - Specialist textiles & real wool blankets

Hainsworth is a specialist textile company that has been an unrivalled market leader for over 225 years (1783) . In Tudor England, wool was an important commodity that signified power and influence. So much so that Queen Elizabeth I insisted nobility took their oaths of loyalty kneeling on a woollen sack. Today, the Woolsack remains at the heart of Britain’s democracy and is now the seat of the Lord Speaker in the House of Lords, the Upper House of Parliament in the United Kingdom. The Woolsack is covered in Hainsworth cloth.
Our ceremonial cloth has been at the heart of national pride, the world over, since before the Battle of Waterloo; our protective fabrics safeguard emergency services in the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America; our interior fabrics furnish Royal palaces and homes throughout Europe and the Middle East; our snooker and pool cloth is undeniably the best in the world; and our award-winning innovation centre is an internationally recognised authority in the design and development of woven textiles.
From the time Abimelech William Hainsworth started manufacturing woollen cloth in Yorkshire, investing in our people and maintaining strong partnerships with customers and suppliers have been the cornerstones of our success. Hainsworth fabric has clothed royalty and the military for full-dress ceremonial occasions and has embellished and enriched the furnishings of palaces across the world.
Hainsworth also delivered the first inherently heat and flame-retardant fabrics in the UK and now protect emergency services and military personnel around the world from the damaging effects of fire. Hainsworth enables musicians, designers, tailors and world championship snooker players to reach the pinnacle of their professions.
John Atkinson by Hainsworth® blankets are a sub brand of Hainsworth and our blankets are manufactured using only the finest wool blends.

All of our woollen blankets are manufactured from raw wool to hand finished blanket at our mill in West Yorkshire enabling us complete control of the full process.

McCraw Allan - Irish Bed Linen and Tea towels

As quality Linen Manufacturers we have a long family tradition reaching back to 1820 when the Company was founded in Lurgan, Northern Ireland by Johnston McCaw. His grandson R.J. McCaw formed a partnership in 1904 with Harry Allan, an old Lurgan College friend, and it was this family alliance which shaped the future development of the company.

Over the years we have extended our range to include other fabrics, new fibre combinations and new product and design ranges to best meet needs and requirements in this modern-day environment but, true to our philosophy, these too are predominantly natural materials and are all manufactured to the same highest quality standards .

In recognition of our continuing commitment to the highest standards we were awarded the Royal Warrant in 1998 as manufacturer of fine Bed Linens to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, an honour we still retain.

Baird McNutt Irish Linen

Producing high quality Irish Linen since 1912

Baird McNutt Irish Linen is steeped in tradition and knowledge, gained over 100 years of industry experience. We pride ourselves in using traditional Irish methods to produce the highest quality material. Our Irish linen is renowned amongst designers worldwide.
At Baird McNutt we offer you the genuine Irish Linen brand, at an affordable price.
The family business of Baird was established in 1912. The original factory was one of the last built as part of the Irish linen revolution. It was equipped with four hundred Atherton looms, which had been modified from the cotton trade. The factory mainly manufactured piece goods for the handkerchief trade in the USA, where the largest market was at that time.
The company took the decision in the late 1960's to change from handkerchief production to apparel production. At this time Italy was at the forefront of the fashion industry and fabrics were developed for Armani and other leading fashion designers. In Ireland the company acquired the dyeing and finishing works of John Hanna in Kells. Dating from 1798, this company was the world specialist in linen suiting. Baird modernised the company to become the leading finishing works in Ireland, offering the unique Irish linen finish. At the same time the company was offered the design services of the McNutt family in Donegal. The combination of the two families created the brand Baird McNutt Irish linen, which is known throughout the world.
Our Irish linen is a unique brand built on centuries of tradition and skill. In the world of mass market production, it stands out as a beacon of true authenticity.
