For many years we operated as a company providing historically accurate materials for reproducing textiles of
specific historical periods. While we have always offered a variety of manufactured materials carefully selected for their
suitability for our customers’ needs, transforming materials with plant-based dyes has been the area in which we have specialized.
Our customers have been an interesting assortment of museum professionals, antique dealers, historical re-enactors, movie makers,
professional & hobbyist needle workers, the list goes on and on. Over the past 26 years we have supplied materials and
finished (woven, stitched, embroidered) goods to a demanding and ever changing group of people who trust in our knowledge of textile goods and their historical context.
We offer a historically accurate materials to museums, dealers, and other trades' people who reproduce or restore period furnishings.
