Using traditional skills to create clothing and shelter from the materials of our landscape
We are makers, sharing our space, skills and creativity, with a passion for enduring design and soulful craftsmanship, inspired by the qualities of the materials we source and a connection to our environment
The Elvet Jacket
Woven on historic looms from British wool yarns, our new jacket is supporting the massive restoration of Elvet Woollen Mill. Tucked into the Cothi Valley, Carmarthenshire, Elvet is one of only 7 working woollen mills left in Wales and a vital part of the mission to preserve the our textile heritage in Wales.
An easy fitting, non-gendered jacket come cardigan with a forest green cashmere lining and side pockets for warming your hands.
It will be previewed at Craft Festival Wales, Cardigan on the 5th-7th Sept.
Available to order online from mid September.
The Cambrian Gilet
Still the only gilet out there that’s quilted with a thermal layer of British wool - not even a whisper of polyester.
Our outer tweed is grown, washed, carded, spun and woven all within an hour of the Carpenter & Cloth studio.
