JOHN BOYD TEXTILES

• 13200 - Weaving of textiles

John Boyd Textiles is now one of the last companies in the world still weaving hair cloth. Although the historical traditional fabrics are still woven today, contemporary designers also appreciate the unique qualities of horsehair fabrics. Many new designs and colours have been added to the collection in recent years... First established in Castle Cary in 1837, John Boyd Textiles is proud to maintain the tradition of horsehair weaving. Horsehair fabrics are woven with the finest and best quality tail hair from live horses and cotton or silk warps using the original looms and techniques from 1870... Woven by John Boyd Textiles since 1837 in Somerset, our horsehair fabrics are used mainly for upholstery, wallcoverings, screens, lampshades and speakers.
