This new establishment has helped the firm to bring its production back from the countries like Italy, Spain and France. The company, having 14 employees, has a turnover in multi-million pounds. It is the only firm that can produce bespoke fancy yarns and is one of the two remaining British-owned specialist yarn producers.
It also produces yarn for machine knitting, upholstery fabric manufacturing and woven apparel. The Italian-designed machine specialist in yarn-production installed by the firm is first of its kind in UK and is one of the world's few machines, which permits to combine three spinning technologies to manufacture yarns with more complicated variable patterns.
