Something not to "throw" away...

For decades, Textillery Weavers has had the reputation for being of the finest weavers of hand woven throws in the United States.  John Rose gave his wife, Judith, a gift loom in 1974.  Judith learned to weave small at first, creating place mats and pillows. They sold their goods wholesale at craft fairs across the country.

By 1978, the Roses realized there was a market for hand woven goods and they formed Textillery Weavers.  Slowly the business grew as Textillery developed a reputation for their fine weaving, exceptional business practices and their use of innovative materials. They where seeing such growth that everything they wove was sold as fast as they could weave it.  This lead to the purchase of new looms for the studio.

By the early 90s, Textillery weavers was regarded as the leading maker of hand made throws.  Today,they are credited with being apart of the explosion of chenille throws. 

By 1998, the company had outgrown the studio and was ready to move into a 37,000 foot, state of the art facility where they ran 28 looms.  This facility is one of the few hand made textile mills in the world.  With the Roses at the helm - creating the designs and researching new technology, Textillery Weavers started to explore other outlets for their creativity and design skills.

Approximately four years ago, the Roses, along with Glen Raven choose to design a line of indoor/outdoor throws using  Glen Raven custom fabrics.

The Sunbrella throw, is made from Glen Raven's famous solution dyed acrylic. This wonder thread prevents fabrics from staining , bleaching  and mold.

The color selection will go with any collection of furniture you might choose.


 The Chenille and boucles fabric are soft to the touch and will keep you warm on the coolest of evenings.
